Longford artist takes mentoring role in inclusive arts programme

Anna D. Atkinson has been selected as a mentor for the 2025 Connecting Artists Programme, a national initiative supporting neurodivergent and disabled visual artists across Ireland. Led by Connections Arts Centre, the ten-week programme pairs artists with mentors to help develop their skills and confidence, culminating in an exhibition at RCSI. Anna, herself neurodivergent, described the experience as transformative and deeply rewarding.
