Helium Arts is hosting a “Youth Showcase” in Galway, featuring artworks by teenagers with lifelong physical health conditions.

They aim to highlight access issues to local cultural spaces.

The exhibition is part of the TUCLA Festival and is running online until December 1st.

However, a “Sharing Day” will take place tomorrow (Sat Nov 18) in the city’s Portershed to allow in-person viewing.
