Arts Alive Galway aims to make the joy of music accessible to everyone, transforming how we engage with sound through inclusive creativity.
Tactile Tunes is an interactive musical installation designed to encourage music-making among people of all abilities.
Using sensory-friendly materials and surfaces, it blends sound, touch, visuals, and movement to create an immersive environment. The project celebrates the belief that everyone has the right — and the ability — to make music in their own way.
Tactile Tunes is led by Jane Cassidy, a multimedia artist and educator from Galway. Arts Alive Galway is a community-based arts programme for adults with intellectual disabilities under The Brothers of Charity Services Galway.
Developed with the support of Galway Culture Company and Galway International Arts Festival’s ELEVATE Bursary, and the Create Artist in the Community Scheme.
