Galway Arts Centre is delighted to present a solo exhibition by artist Jane Hayes as part of Baboró International Arts Festival for Children 2025

'First Impressions' is a landmark solo exhibition by Cork-based visual artist Jane Hayes, created especially for early years audiences. Bringing together a major body of work developed over several years, the exhibition invites young children and their families into a visually rich and imaginative world that reflects how young children encounter art: physically, playfully, and with deep curiosity.

This is Hayes’s most ambitious presentation to date, offering a rare opportunity to experience an artist’s sustained, innovative engagement with early childhood through contemporary visual art.
