The Evento Creative
Arts Academy
Inspiring Confidence. Building Creativity. Connecting Communities.
Welcome to the Evento Creative Arts Academy
A space for creativity, confidence and connection, for everyone.
The Evento Creative Arts Academy is a nationwide education and outreach initiative developed through Evento Ireland. Built on the belief that creativity has the power to transform lives, the Academy delivers workshops, training and creative programmes that meet people where they are, regardless of age, ability or background.
Whether in a school hall, community centre, rehearsal space or workplace, our goal is simple: to create inspiring experiences that build confidence, encourage self expression and creativity, and bring people together through the arts.
Rather than focusing on finding the best performers, the Academy focuses on helping people discover the best in themselves.
Our workshops and programmes are led by experienced facilitators working across theatre, music, dance, creative learning, production and wellbeing. Each session is designed to be inclusive, hands on and interactive, with clear learning outcomes and meaningful personal development.
Our programmes work with:
✔️ Primary and secondary schools
✔️ Youth services and local authorities
✔️ Community and intergenerational groups
✔️ Choirs and amateur musical societies
✔️ Corporate and workplace teams
✔️ Individuals seeking training or mentorship in the arts
Whether you’re looking for a once-off creative boost or a longer-term programme, the Evento Creative Arts Academy is here to help you connect, create and grow.
