Collaborative Arts Symposium at South Tipperary County Museum: 6th July 2011

A Collaborative Arts Symposium: Building and Nurturing the Grass Roots  will take place on the 6th July at the South Tipperary County Museum from 10am, as part of the Clonmel Junction Festival in partnership with Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts in social and community contexts.

This day-long event aims to build upon existing relationships in arts and community participation. This “joined advocacy” will work to build audience and encourage the growth of a cohesive collaborative artistic community that shares knowledge and expertise, promotes a positive profile for participatory arts and develops new learning opportunities and training for artists. The cost of attendance is €15.00 including lunch, €25.00 including lunch and dinner and €35.00 including lunch, dinner and performance.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the Clonmel Junction Festival box office.

Youth arts can broadly be defined as young people taking part voluntarily in creative, cultural or expressive activity outside of the formal education process. It can encompass participation and appreciation, as well as engagement with arts work specifically created by, with or for young people.
