Creative Careers back online

I’m pleased to pass on this announcement about Creative Careers, a new-ish site that’s proved very popular for folks looking for opportunities in the Irish arts sector:

CREATIVE CAREERS BACK ONLINE

Ireland’s jobs and opportunities website for the arts/creative sector is re-launching with an extended service including an Careers Chat Forum, Training | Seminar section, Classifieds section and an RSS feed for the latest jobs and opportunities. You can also place adverts seeking Interns or Volunteers or letting Creative Space.

The site covers areas such as Theatre, Performance, Film , Literature, Arts Management, Visual Arts and Design | Digital Media. CreativeCareers.ie is now fully automated so your adverts go online in a matter of seconds and all services are completely free.

www.creativecareers.ie

I’ll continue posting opportunities specific to arts management here on the site, but for those of you seeking artist and/or volunteer openings, this is a great resource…

UCD Graduate Open Day

Thursday, 19 February 2009

We’re gearing up here for this year’s annual UCD Open Day, where faculty will be on hand to discuss postgraduate study opportunities at UCD– of particular interest to readers of this blog may be the two MA degrees offered by UCD’s School of Art History and Cultural Policy: the MA in Art History, and MA in Arts Management and Cultural Policy (we also offer MLitt and PhD degrees in both these subjects). A special information session on these programmes will be held from 3-4 pm in J004 (Arts – Newman Building).

The full schedule of the day’s events is located here: http://www.ucd.ie/artsceltic/graduateschool/events/graduateopenday/

Here’s the official blurb from UCD– do come along if you have an interest in further study!

UCD offers a superb range of dynamic opportunities for graduate study and research in the humanities. Leading experts in areas as diverse as film, creative writing, musicology, art history, drama, arts management and cultural policy, languages, literatures, history, folklore and linguistics will be available to guide you through opportunities to deepen your knowledge and enhance your career potential on Thursday 19 February.

Declan Kiberd, Professor of Anglo-Irish Literature & Drama, and Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Professor of Art History, will give short talks on the exciting challenges of graduate study and life at a key-note event at UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland (HII) between 5-6 pm on 19 February. Sandra Walker of UCD Career Development will address issues of career enhancement. This session will conclude with a wine reception at the HII.

New info & links added to ‘Research’

Inspired by the Arts Council’s new publication indexing research on the arts & education, I’ve been busy updating the information located on the ‘Research‘ section of the blog…

Hopefully this will be of use to our students & others interested in further research on arts management and cultural policy, both in Ireland and internationally. I’ve provided (subjective) thumbnail sketches of the key resources available, and hope this will serve as a shortcut for getting stuck in to the wealth of research material out there 🙂 Any glaring omissions, please let me know!
