Artists, designers and their families, friends and colleagues enjoyed new and humorous exhibition techniques, the ambiance of the Cork Vision Centre @ St. Peter's amplified by music by ALL BLUES from Music, Management and Sound at CSN. The map of the exhibition, handed out to every visitor, made the show fall together as "one" - not isolating any course - showing the unity of the college courses as a "whole". CSN is well known for quality tuition in a nurturing environment for the pursuit of all the arts.

Weekend workshops began Saturday 5th February - with Origami and Haiku - story-telling and hands-on activities. The swans and whales, boats and fish were all put on the River Lee on the map of Cork to add to the colour and effect of the exhibition when one walks through the front doors. Next weekend 12th - the theme of the workshops from 11AM -1 PM will be "Under the Sea" and on the 19th Feb - "The Emperor's New Clothes" - ALL FREE to visitors - children and adults alike.
