I’m very much looking forward to this event tomorrow: taking place in the Science Gallery, this day-long symposium from the Arts Council will reflect on the role of the arts in public commemoration, and review the Council’s ART:2016 programme. I’ll be chairing the final session Currency in the afternoon, with speakers Lorelei Harris (head of arts and cultural strategy for RTÉ), Eugene Downes (Director, Kilkenny Arts Festival), Annette Nugent (arts marketer & cultural consultant), and John Concannon (director, Creative Ireland initiative). The programme is chock-full of excellent speakers and has been curated by Roise Goan. Attendance is free, and you can book here. Talks will also be live streamed throughout the day!
