Play Spaces from Sligo Arts Service on Vimeo.

Play spaces was a Per Cent for Art project where six artists worked as a team for 6 weeks with children in the 8-12 age group, in a public art context.

It took the form of a series of workshops which explored the theme of play from the home outwards to the garden, street, community and park.

The project focused on children's use of outdoor public space for imaginative play across the three wards of Sligo.

It culminated in a shared outcome presented to the public called 'Games without Frontiers' which took place on October 29th 2011 in Doorly Park Sligo.
