Youth Arts Commission – Halting Light Project Launch
On Friday, 23 January, the Halting Light project—created by Michelle O’Donnell, Offaly‑based glass artist and recipient of the Youth Arts Award 2025—was launched at the Offaly Traveller Movement Hub in Tullamore.
Michelle collaborated with young Traveller people and families to create a glass quilt that honours loved ones and reflects Traveller culture.
We’re delighted to share images of this meaningful community artwork.
