Over 300 artists availed of Visual Artists Ireland Education Programme 2008 – 2011
Just gearing up a review of the Visual Artists Ireland Professional Development Training programme in Northern Ireland. The fabulous Liz Lennon, lizbiz.wordpress.com/about, will shortly be in touch with artist participants, facilitators and partners seeking their input as we review and plan for future provision of training and professional development in Northern Ireland.
Gathering the data has been quite exciting when I realise that over 300 individual artists have taken part in the programme over the last three years, with many attending several workshops in any one year. A big clap on the back to all our Northern Ireland partners, facilitators and VAI staff who’ve contributed. Looking forward to feedback from the surveys when they’re complete.
