I’m delighted to be taking part in one of the panel talks revolving around the wellbeing of the Art Sector in Ireland. Devised by the Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) in partnership with the Arts Council of Ireland and support from other organisations such as Visual Artists Ireland, Age and Opportunity, and Dance Limerick to name a few, this series aims to inspire and support the viewers, panellists and listeners while also acknowledging the difficulties for the arts at the moment. Each event will be available in podcast form at a later stage.
The panel I will be involved in will focus on the visual arts alongside Miriam O’Connor, Austin Ivers and chaired by Dr. Maureen Gaffney. If visual art isn’t your thing, other corners of the arts in Ireland has been accommodated - from literature to dance, music, theatre and collaborative arts. These free events run from the 15th March to 1st April every weekday at 10.30am (the final Theatre workshop on the 1st Aprll begins at the different time of 12.30pm).
