AIM OF THE SCHEME
The Arts Office of Clare County Council
invites submissions for this scheme, the aim of which is to give pupils
the opportunity to work with a professional artist on a once-off project
to be planned between the artist and the school. The scheme is open to
artists from any artistic discipline including visual arts and crafts,
music, dance, drama, literature, film, architecture, photography, and
new media. The scheme will be offered in two strands: Arts Space and Arts
Days
Arts Space
The project will fund artist contact time in the school for 30 hours. If successful, an agreement should be entered by the school and the artist and should be cognisant of the Artist~Schools guidelines.
Arts Days
The project will fund a one day specific workshop in the school.
