Upcoming: 
  Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, Molding of an artistic casting (Kasli Iron Works), 1910.

Planning for the third Visual Arts Workers Forum is underway. Thanks to all who have sent suggestions for future topics for the forum – internships, artists’ wages, government policy – there are many issues in the air at the moment. Please keep sending in suggestions, and we’ll try to work as many of these issues as we can into our programming for the day-long forum.

The 2013 forum was initially drafted to be hosted by CCA Derry-Londonderry, but this partnership has been postponed so the Directors of CCA can focus their energy on Derry’s Capital of Culture activities, and we look forward to the forum being produced in Northern Ireland in future years.

Visual Arts Workers Forum is a forum for visual arts workers in Ireland to enable an open conversation and forum for debate.

It is for all visual arts workers - artists, art writers, art students, curators, art historians, educators, arts officers, private gallerists, art technicians, archivists, studio managers, facilitators, art administrators, art handlers and more.
