This artist-led seminar provides an opportunity to discuss the experiences and insights of professional artists. Through a series of presentations and conversations, participants will look at the fundamentals, benefits and pitfalls in establishing a career as a visual artist in Ireland. The seminar aims to address the practicalities of art practice, offering a straightforward and pragmatic approach to the production and exhibition of contemporary art.
Getting on With Art: Conversations on Practicalities Through Practice has invited a broad range of artists to speak about their realities of making art as professionals. Guest speakers will address a number of pertinent issues and opportunities for emerging artists, including their experiences of artist residencies, commercial galleries and artist-run exhibition spaces alongside the practicalities of sustaining an art practice in these difficult times.
These artists will offer insights into how their own research influences their approach to sustainability and how this affects their final outcomes, their artworks.
Presentations will be followed by an open-forum Q & A session, where the urgent issues of the day can be advanced head-on and where we hope the pertinent issues of practitioners today can be explored in a pragmatic manner.
