Community textile exhibition in Town Hall

A community textile exhibition has opened in Kilcullen Town Hall, featuring the results of workshops on a community quilt project organised by Dúlra Cill Dara, writes Brian Byrne. Threads of Connection is part of First Fortnight 2026, a programme that links art and mental health.

The exhibition brings together nature, memory, and community, honouring older people’s memories and traditional skills, and highlights the mental health benefits of time spent in nature and creative making.

The display includes digital and printed reflections, béaloideas (oral traditions), and participants' words of wisdom.

Threads of Connection will run until Saturday, 17 January, and opening times are from 10am weekdays, except Thursdays when it's open from 5pm-8pm. It is closed on Sundays.
