Night Wave’, original painting by Lisa McGill,
A Wave of Change is an art exhibition and fundraising auction inspired by the purposeful blend of creativity, nature, and therapy found in clinical adventure therapy at New Wave Wild Project.
New Wave Wild Project is a non-profit adventure therapy service founded by Philip & Jasmin Stallard who take therapy into natural blue and green spaces, combining it with adventure activities to support engagement, effectiveness, and fun!
A Wave of Change represents our innate connection to the sea; the reflections and representations of human emotion through creative expression. Simultaneously, A Wave of Change depicts a changing tide over the landscape of mental health and concepts of therapy.
With the kind support of artists through donated pieces of art, this initiative aims to raise awareness of adventure therapy while also raising funds to support young people and families experiencing distress to access timely adventure therapy interventions with New Wave Wild Project in 2025.
A Wave of Change art exhibition will run from 31st July to 28th August 2025 at Siamsa Tire Exhibition Spaces, Town Park, Tralee. This year, we will also be hosting a range of creative and therapeutic workshops every week during the exhibition:
Creative workshops – hands-on skill workshops in a range of visual art and craft techniques
Therapeutic workshops - supporting wellbeing and mental health through activity and play
