Fundraising Auction Raises over €13,000 for New Wave Wild Project.
The ‘A Wave of Change’ art exhibition by New Wave Wild Project, was held at Siamsa Tíre from 2nd July to 2nd August 2024 and explored the connections that exist between the human experience and nature.
New Wave Wild Project is a non-profit clinical adventure therapy service based in Camp, Co. Kerry. In 2024, they aimed to remove barriers of access to great therapy for young people and families by increasing awareness about their approach, and raising funds to support early intervention adventure therapy.
Their initiative, ‘A Wave of Change’, aimed to find creative ways to remove those barriers and the art exhibition and auction at Siamsa Tire was one of the exciting events to support this work. Over 50 artists from all over Ireland donated pieces including paintings, photography, sculpture and woodwork inspired by the theme ‘A Wave of Change’.
