The Art of Life

The Art of Life including Death Positive Libraries was launched at Cavan County Library Service Johnston Central Library.
Led by Creative Cavan, this cross border project funded through CreativeIrl Shared Island aims to use creative approaches to normalise conversations around planning for end of life, dying and death.
The beautiful image which represents the project and painted by local artist Kim Gaffney Art was unveiled by Cathaoirleach T.P. O'Reilly.
You can see the full story of how Kim created this image consulting with project partners and members of Cavan Older Peoples Council, Cavan Age Friendly, South West Age Partnership, Irish Hospice Foundation and Compassionate Communities NI via the video here.
