Mark your calendars for this summer: UCD’s School of Art History and Cultural Policy will be hosting a 2-day conference on 11 & 12 July for professional arts managers and others working in the sector of arts management and cultural policy. Confirmed keynote speakers include Sir John Tusa (former director of the Barbican, former managing director of the BBC World Service and current chairman of the University of the Arts London) and Robert Hewison (former Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford, and current Honorary Professor at Lancaster University and a Visiting Professor at City University working in cultural policy and leadership development).
More details and a conference website will be announced soon!
Dreaming of smoking gitanes in a garrett while working on your latest masterpiece? Or simply a nosy nellie who likes a good snoop? Either way, this Saturday and Sunday (19-20 April) check out ‘Visit 2008‘, a chance to peek inside the studios of Dublin-based artists:
Offering a snapshot of artists working across a wide range of media including printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, glassmaking, ceramics, video, film, photography, installation and conceptual art, VISIT 2008 celebrates the vibrancy of Dublin’s visual art scene. Throughout the city, artists’ studios are dotted and clustered in unusual settings: faded Georgian buildings, renovated stables, urban warehouses, an old mill, a hidden gem above a car salesroom, dormant council flats, an old firestation and a state of the art studio complex.
With walking tours on Saturday and a full bus tour on Sunday, it’ll be a great chance to see what folks are getting up to these days…
Over the weekend the appointment of Declan McGonagle as director of the National College of Art & Design was announced, following the retirement of current director Colm O’Briain. Declan’s most recent role has been as director of Interface, an art & design practice based research centre at the University of Ulster in Belfast. Declan has lectured for our MA programme many times in the past, and we wish him the best in his new appointment at NCAD!
