Get Together 2023, VAI’s National Day for Visual Artists

ARTISTS INITIATING CHANGE

It is our belief that we, visual artists, challenge societal norms and inspire transformation through our creative endeavours. It is also our belief that we must continue to challenge galleries, museums, and spaces to represent the broad and rich spectrum of work taking place across Ireland. No matter what discipline or materials that form our practices, it is our powerful work that serves as the catalyst for dialogue, fosters empathy, and prompts critical reflection, ultimately driving positive shifts in culture, perceptions, and the world at large. Over these two days we will reflect on this and hear from a variety of experts both from home and abroad.

The full programme can be found at the link below.
