Highlights in Cork will include outreach fine art printmaking workshops for the beginner to explore monoprint, screenprint & collograph printmaking, with Cork Printmakers, Wandesford Quay, Crosses Green. For further information on these free events, please phone 021 432 2422

About Bealtaine
Coordinated by Age & Opportunity, Bealtaine is the national arts festival celebrating creativity in older age. The festival encourages greater participation in the arts by older people as artists and performers, as event organisers and audience, everywhere from national institutions to local parish halls. The ethos is one of fun, empowerment and exploration.
Now in its 13th year, Bealtaine is an agenda-setting cultural first, an Irish innovation. In May 2007 there were 1300 events countrywide, organised by 337 partner organisations, attracting an audience of 50,000 people, making this one of Ireland's biggest arts festivals. And while there?s currently nothing like Bealtaine anywhere else in the world, other countries are following our lead and creating festivals based on our model of celebration and participation.
