DLR Arts Office call for Artists Panel 2009/2010
DLR Arts Office is currently looking for visual artists to join our 2009/2010 artists panel*. This panel offers opportunities for peer networking and working in collaboration with children and teachers. Our primary schools programme has been in place since 1994 and has been developed constantly with the aid of the artist's panel. We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and skilled artists to join our team.
Creative Classrooms is DLR Arts programme for primary school children.
In partnership with Blackrock Education Centre, the programme ensures best
practice is adhered to, that duplication of arts provision within the primary
school sector in DLR is kept to a minimum and that the programme is developed
in a strategic and informed way. Particular emphasis is placed on supporting
the teacher through this programme, as well as fostering and harnessing
opportunities for children to problem solve, and think critically and creatively
- thereby becoming innovative, enterprising and equipped for their futures.
We are looking for artists who:
- Can demonstrate a high level of engagement with children through their
visual arts practice.
- Are highly skilled and experienced in their chosen medium.

practice.

children.
