The Cross Border Creative Initiative (CBCI) is a Virtual Museum of Art (VMA) project bringing young people from Kilmallock and Derry together through creativity, collaboration and immersive technology.

​

The project is supported through the Limerick Creative Communities Small Grants Scheme 2026, with support from Creative Ireland and Limerick Arts Office.

​

Four students, two from Kilmallock and two from Derry, will take part in a collaborative programme exploring VR/XR, digital creativity and new ways of creating and sharing artwork.

​

Working with Friar’s Gate Theatre, Kilmallock and the Nerve Centre, Derry, participants will develop work together across the border, using immersive technology to meet, experiment and exchange ideas.

​

The project will culminate in a shared digital artwork, presented in both Kilmallock and Derry.

​

Workshop date: 28 September 2026

​

CBCI is about using new technology to create meaningful connections between young people in different communities and making something together across the border.
