Kids’ Own Publishing Partnership have been advocating creative engagement between artists an children and young people for over ten years. For the past eight months, we have been conducting research into practice in this area. This research mainly takes the form of this website, but we also hold regular meetings around the country to gather artists together to share practice. Our intention with this research is to make visible the exciting and extensive work that is ongoing between artists and children and young people and to give a voice to artists working in this area and to try to support them in their practice.
We are holding a sixth Professional Development Day / Artists’ Meeting at Glór in May. This day is kindly supported by Clare County Council Arts Office and is being hosted by Glór Theatre and Arts Centre, Ennis.
Where: Glór Theatre and Arts Centre, Ennis
When: Monday May 25th, Time: 10.30am to 4.30pm
Artists of all disciplines and at any stage in their career, who engage with children and young people through their practice, are welcome.
Sarah Fuller and Shona MacGillivray will be presenting their work and leading activities which give insight into their practice. Margaret Rogers from the Arts Council of Ireland will be present to talk about the recent additional guidelines for artists working with children and young people.
