Monaghan Town

Community organiser Anna brought together participants from her church group to create a lovely project representing Monaghan Town.

Doohamlet

Marie, our Doohamlet community organiser, gathered together a group of young people and older participants through her work with Doohamlet Community Centre to help create a record of what’s going on in their community.

Carrickmacross

Samantha organised a small but impactful project in Carrickmacross through her scouting group which delved into the participant’s memories and the rich history of the area.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER

John Nutley grew up in the Liberties of Dublin and moved to Monaghan in the eighties.  Coming from a very artistic family background, he became very interested in the arts from an early age.

On moving to Monaghan,  it wasn’t long before he joined a group called Spectrum Arts Group where he developed his love of art.  He mostly used photographs to develop his skills and in doing so he developed his love for photography.  He experimented in amateur photography and eventually joined Monaghan Photography Society.
