The hospital has been an integral part of Letterkenny and County Donegal for 154 years. Often shrouded by mythology and stigma, the asylum fulfilled a necessary role in society but one that is currently undergoing radical change.This exhibition, by putting into context the earliest history of mental health services in Donegal hopes to raise public awareness of mental health. The exhibition is organised in conjunction with Little John Nee’s artist’s residency in An Grianan Theatre and his performance of “The Mental”. This project is supported by PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by Donegal County Council.

  • Little John Nee Residency - Preliminary Report November 2010
    An Grianán Theatre Peace III project preliminary report Little John Nee Residency - Preliminary report November 2010 The Derry Boat 2010 The theme, style and format of each of the eight workshops undertaken by Little John to date have varied greatly. This is a measure of the versatile artist who is adaptable in his approach to working with very different community groups. And even though the profile of the group changes from session to session, the constant is Little John’s talent of seeing each for who they are, settling down with them and creating a space where an openness and gentleness of story sharing prevails. Workshops linked with The Derry Boat performance have had an emphasis on our shared past. Memories of what times were like for those who travelled on the Derry Boat, who lived and raised families in Scotland, who left families behind in Ireland are recounted from first and second hand experiences. Stories told are colourful, some are melancholy, others are humorous and all are precious. And for those participants for whom the Derry Boat itself was not a part of their history or a factor in their present, the universal theme of family is central to all. Participants nod in agreement, laugh in recognition and sigh in the knowledge of a shared understanding. Everyone has a story. I’ll share mine and then maybe you might like to share yours. LJN Further outreach work confirmed for the residency Four of the older people’s groups with whom Little John visited have expressed a strong desire in continuing with the successful model of hosting post-performance storytelling workshops for the duration of the residency.

  • Cultural Services Annual Review 2010
    Contents Library Service 2 Arts Service 6 Archives Service 10 Museum Service 12 Public Art 15 Heritage Office 18 Regional Cultural Centre 22 Cultural Services Division Personnel 26 Foreword onegal County Council takes a proactive approach to the provision of cultural services in the county. DThis document highlights a number of events and achievements of the Council’s Cultural Services Division from 2010, which show the huge diversity and the exceptional quality of the various programmes, whether this be through the Library Service, the Arts (County Arts , Regional Cultural Centre, Public Art) or Heritage (Museum, Archives, Heritage). The Elected Members of Donegal County Council recognise the importance of culture as a resource for County Donegal and seek to provide support for this key sector annually. It is our aim that the Council will continue to deliver high quality cultural services as one of its core services. The 5 goals of the Cultural Services Division are (i) to improve access to, and increase participation in cultural activities in County Donegal, (ii) to maintain and develop a high quality service, (iii) to promote and develop the educational value of culture, (iv) to promote excellence and innovation, and (v) to promote the importance of culture and preserve cultural inheritance. While these are high-level goals, they translate into a range of cultural experiences available to the community across the county. Each experience can contribute to the short, medium and long-term development of the individual, particularly of children and young people, but also for adults. These experiences are provided for your enjoyment, information and education and I encourage you to take up the opportunities provided.
