Birdie is looking for Buddies!
The arts are a vital part of childhood - shaping empathy, confidence and a sense of belonging. While every child has the right, not every child has the opportunity. By becoming a Birdie Buddie you are helping to put creativity at the heart of every childhood.

Artist Open Call: Making Work for Young Audiences | Baboró × Galway Arts Centre
Deadline: 06 December 2026
Support Baboró
Many families and schools do not have the means to access the arts.
Baboró works to address this barrier by subsidising tickets to our annual festival from a production cost of €35 per person to €10 and less (2024 festival subsidised by 81%). We also run free events, free workshops and provide free tickets to underrepresented communities.
Your support maintains this subsidised ticket price for all children and provides free tickets to teachers, carers and disadvantaged communities.
