Training Opportunity for Artists for Healthcare Settings
We were seeking expressions of interest from professional artists, who were already working in or were interested in working in healthcare settings. This training opportunity built artists’ capacity to engage with older people in local healthcare settings through their artistic practice. This opportunity was open to artists from any artform.
The deadline has now passed.
dlr Arts Office invited Sarah Cairns and Tess Leak to deliver three lively and comprehensive sessions for professional artists. The training provided opportunities to explore ways of collaborating and delivering multi-sensory projects in healthcare settings, inclusive of people with cognitive and other differences. Participating artists received vital dementia and communications training specific to their needs in the healthcare settings. This experiential training included ‘hands-on’ creative practices.
This opportunity was part of the ‘Let’s Get Social dlr Programme 2024-25’ funded by Creative Ireland and the HSE, supported by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.
Deadline was 2pm, 12 August
