Your Little Tiny Welcome – Free Event at Ards Arts Centre

Come along to Ards Arts Centre, this Saturday 19 January, and take a closer look and listen to ‘Your Little Tiny Welcome’, a wonderfully touching introduction to our world for babies, children, parents and well, everybody really!

 ‘Your Little Tiny Welcome to the Great Big Whole Wide World’ is an exhibition by Patrick Sanders (14 July 1976 – 16 January 2017). Patrick Sanders was a clown doctor, an illustrator, a performer, an artist, an activist and a loving husband. In 2015, Replay Theatre Company created the world’s first Baby Day celebrating our tiniest citizens. A day that was about hope for the future and about the family that Northern Ireland could be. As part of that celebration, Patrick was commissioned to create this exhibition and the beautiful book it celebrates.

Sadly, Patrick left his world far too soon but in this work, his extraordinary and unique world view lives on as his legacy.

This family event will give everyone a chance to view Patrick’s wonderful exhibition and listen to some songs inspired by Patrick’s intriguing illustrations, specially written and performed by Rachael McCabe.

Copies of the book containing all the illustrations from the exhibition will also be on sale.

This event will run over three sessions; 12noon, 1pm & 2pm. Admission is free but pre-booking is essential. To book a space, visit: http://www.ardsarts.com/
