Dublin’s popular cultural hub for kids has announced a variety of online programs during coronavirus lockdown.
The Ark has had to cancel all events and workshops that were due to take place at their city centre building because of the pandemic.
But the cultural centre has come up with new ways to keep kids entertained during the lockdown.
Kids and parents will now have the chance to explore visual arts exhibitions and workshops, music performances, literature, and dance from the comfort of their own homes.
Each Thursday The Ark will stream different performances including acclaimed theatre productions such as The Haircut! by Wayne Jordan & Tom Lane and Peat by Kate Heffernan, as well as wonderful musical experiences such as the magical Tracks in the Snow featuring The Henry Girls.
Director Aideen Howard said: “At The Ark, we believe in every child’s right to art and culture. Generally, this means visits to our beautiful building in Temple Bar to see shows, exhibitions and concerts, or to take part in our hands-on workshops.
“Now though, while our audience of children, parents and teachers are all at home, we want to share the work of some of our brilliant Ark artists online.
“The Ark @ Home is a way for children who are home from school to connect with some of those performances and workshops. Check out ark.ie and The Ark Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages @thearkdublin for more information."
