“It is such a pleasure to celebrate the Connacht Collage Collective’s first birthday with a Big Paper Paste Party and on World Collage Day 2025 no less. It really has been a wonderful year of cutting, pasting and hosting this lovely community while watching it grow. So whether you are artistically established or creatively curious, please feel welcome to join us for our big celebration at the Linenhall Arts Centre. Here is to our future projects and meetings together!” Anthony D Kelly
World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration held on the second Saturday of May. Initiated by Kolaj Magazine, the day is a call for artists and venues around the world to celebrate collage — a medium that brings together disparate pieces to create something new. World Collage Day reminds us of the power of connection.
As Kolaj editor Ric Kasini Kadour says, “We created World Collage Day because we wanted to honour this community of artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.”
This is an adult workshop (18+), and everyone is welcome.
Help us celebrate the joy of collage and community. Let’s make together!
