Description

Cross-Current(s) is a professional development initiative for artists and creative arts therapists based in County Tipperary, Waterford City and County and County Cork. Building on two years of research on the relationship between artists and art therapists through the Smiling Dog initiative, it provides an opportunity to collaborate, connect and exchange ideas. Selected participants receive a professional development bursary.

Artist Payment Policy
Yes. The contribution which creative and interpretative artists, arts workers and others within the arts sector make to the cultural and creative lives of our citizens is substantial. A measure of how such a contribution is acknowledged is in the practical value we place on this work. This includes ensuring fair rates of payment, reasonable working conditions, equitable opportunity, transparency in procurement and recognition of intellectual property rights of artists.
