Get Together 2026 | Speed Curating Tickets
The ever popular Speed Curating returns at Get Together 2026. VAI members attending Get Together can book one on one sessions with curators.
You must be a member and have a General Admission Ticket to be able to access Speed Curating.
General Admission Tickets are: €30 for VAI members (Professional, Associate, Organisational and Friends – Strictly one per member), and TU Dublin Students; €100 for non VAI members.
How does it work?
Artists will have 10 minutes to talk about what they’re working on, or introduce the curators to their practice. This fast-paced but friendly environment offers a chance for curators to meet artists they might never have come across, or to see new bodies of work in development. Multiple exhibitions and working relationships have developed from VAI’s Speed Curating events.
Note: There is a limit of 3 appointments per service.
If you book more than 3 appointments for the same service, all of your appointments for that service will be cancelled. Your payment for those cancelled appointments will be refunded.
We are sorry if this appears harsh, but it is caused by members in previous years ignoring our instruction and impacting on other members being able to make bookings.
