Practice.ie for Artists in Glór

Practice.ie: Professional Development Meeting for Artists who work with Children and Young People. "Practice.ie" is an ongoing collaborative research project in development by Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership. Kids’ Own have been promoting and supporting artists’ practice working with children and young people for over twelve years. This research has grown from an understanding of the need for exchange and shared learning for professional development. The aim of the research is to validate, support and enhance artists’ practice working with children and young people. "Practice.ie" takes the main form of a website: http://www.practice.ie/. It is growing as a vibrant resource and database of contemporary practice in this area. It also provides the first all-Ireland professional network for artists working with children and young people. "Practice.ie" holds regular meetings for artists in various locations around Ireland. The next meeting is kindly supported by Clare Arts Office and Glór Theatre and Arts Centre and takes place in Glór, Ennis on Monday, May 25th from 10.30am to 4.30pm. This day is for all artists, from any discipline and at any stage of their career, whose practice involves working with children and young people.
