Welcome to our first ever GRETB Arts Celebration Awards. The purpose of this Celebration is to showcase and acknowledge the many and various artistic talents that our students possess throughout the whole of Galway and Roscommon and the 20 different schools in our ETB.
GRETB wants to give the opportunity for students with various skills in many different artistic disciplines to be able to exhibit, perform and show their work to the world. As artistic endeavours can sometimes be a solitary affair, there is not always the chance to be able to share and display such work and talents and garner a wide audience.
GRETB also believes in the spirit of the Education Act which recognises that developing the whole child to the fullest is paramount and that creativity is a vital part of making this happen.
