TY Community Arts Experience

Transition Year Arts Experiences 2026 / 27

County Longford Arts Service organise community arts experiences for Transition Year Students in County Longford. This opportunity is open to a limited number of transition year students (or similar aged, home-schooled students) in County Longford with an interest in finding out more about the role of artists and art making in their community.

This experience gives TY students an opportunity to volunteer their time in a creative environment. For many young people this will be their first experience of volunteering and active citizenship.  No prior experience in any artform is necessary to secure a place. The ideal participant for the TY Arts Experience is a young person who is curious, brave, kind and willing to try something new (It is important that you demonstrate this in your application).  These experiences are designed to facilitate any student who wants to use them as part of their Gaisce Bronze Award preparation. 

There is an administration fee of €25 charged by County Longford Arts Service to participants who accept placement offers.

The Following TY experiences are available for 2026/27:
