Carlow Arts Service works in partnership with a number of local community organisations and artists working in health settings and services to promote, support and celebrate Arts and Health in all its forms and to create access to the arts for all.
Over the last number of years Carlow Arts Service has supported Mobile Music Machine to provide care concerts to our local nursing homes.
Mobile Music Machine, with the generous support of Carlow County Council Arts Office, Creative Ireland, Creativity in Older Age Scheme and Healthy Ireland, visits care settings to perfom care concerts in and around County Carlow.
These concerts are a continuation of the Covid Care Concerts, which successfully commenced in May 2020 and have to date seen over 100 of Ireland's leading musical artists perform over 2,000 live concerts in 23 counties, reaching an audience of 150,000, providing access to the arts for all.
These events were organised by the Arts Office of Carlow County Council and made possible through the support of the Creative Ireland Creativity in Older Age Scheme.
