Artist Talks
Artists have a gift, which should be shared, the concepts, the inspiration, the passion, and the humanity of art, can all provide an educational experience to bring people together.
Maura O'Rourke speaking about the USA Ireland artist exchange programme at the Encompass exhibition in Ardgillan Castle
Artist’s talks include the promotion of artists and artwork by talking to groups explaining the work process and the artist life style. These groups include intermediate; senior school children and university level art students. Many young people have no concept of how to combine business and art in a commercial world, it may be that their future life style will be dependant on having this knowledge. Determination and focus are so important to succeed and the extra insight and understanding of business can make the difference between success and survival.
Many local associations like the ICA have issued invitations to come and exhibit paintings and explain how an artist works in the studio.
