The Glucksman’s Art Library programme is headed to Roola Boola Children's Arts Festival 2026.

In partnership with the UCC School of Law, The Glucksman commissioned seven Irish picture book authors to respond to different themes within the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Artists Kathi Burke, Peter Donnelly, Roisin Hahessy, Chris Haughton, Chris Judge, Mary Murphy and Niamh Sharkey created seven new illustrations focusing on family and identity, education, creativity and play, justice and the right to be heard, equality, climate change and the environment, and migrants and refugees.

The Art Library a supported by a Touring Award from the Arts Council of Ireland.
