In visual arts, we’ll concentrate on doing project that have famous artworks as their basis, so the kids get some knowledge of art history as well as the practical side. It’s all about the children having some fun and having a good solid week of painting, drawing and music-making. We’ll also be screening some interesting short film classics and new animations for the kids during breaktimes.”

Nenagh Arts Centre is presenting it’s annual outdoor film screening at Banba Square on Saturday 29th June at 10.0 p.m.
The film choice this year is Steven Spielberg’s classic ‘Jaws’ – the original summer blockbuster from 1975. The film changed forever the way films were released – ushering in the era of the blockbuster movie – a high action film, with strong special effects specifically targetted at the summer audience.
‘Jaws’ storyline is simple – Amity is a seaside holiday community, it’s economy relying on an annual influx of tourists. But when a series of deaths occur, caused by a great white shark, the towns’ Police Chief, Brody is forced to make some drastic decisions to ensure the safety of the populace. With a marine scientist and a grizzly old fisherman in tow, he goes to hunt the creature down.

We’ll start around 10 – 10.15 p.m. when the sun is fully down. Those attending should remember that it gets cold in the evenings, so please bring warm clothes. Some seats will be provided, but patrons are welcome to bring cushions, blankets as needed. Tea/Coffee and snacks will be available for sale. ‘Jaws’ is 2 hours long and has a 12A cert. It has some very scary bits, but is a fantastic film and this is a great opportunity to see it on a big screen.”
