Arts in Schools, 2004 Directory of Arts Council-funded organisations with arts-in-schools programmes Cover photograph: Sinead Foley, artist facilitating a Mask-Making Workshop as part of Kilkenny Arts Festival 2003 programme for Young People. Photographer: Michael Brown © The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, 2004 ISBN 1-904291-08-2 Arts in Schools, 2004 For over 30 years, the Arts Council/an Chomhairle Ealaíon has supported the arts within formal education – both directly, through schemes and residencies and, indirectly, through funding the education and outreach programmes of arts organisations. New and revised curricula in primary and second-level schools have strengthened the place of the arts in education. As a result, an increasing number of arts organisations are becoming involved in education programmes. The Arts Council encourages and supports collaboration between arts organisations, artists and schools as a means of enriching young people’s artistic and aesthetic education. We also value the positive contribution this collaboration makes to the work of the artist and the teacher. To support and promote collaborations between artists, arts organisations and schools, the Arts Council published, last year, a directory of organisations running arts-in-schools programmes, Supporting Arts in Education. This addressed the information gap between the arts and education communities regarding the work in schools of arts organisations. The directory was popular with artists, educators and administrators, who use it as a practical resource in setting up new projects and relationships. To maintain the momentum and to keep the information up-to-date, we have again compiled this directory for 2004. Arts in Schools, 2004 lists an additional 40 arts organisations working in schools, reflecting both the increase in arts-in-schools activity and its changing nature. We are currently looking into the possibility of transforming this directory into an online interactive database, which would be searchable and updateable. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improving this service. You can fill in the evaluation form on our website or email your comments to Sarah Bannan, Local Arts Services Officer, at [email protected]. Thank you for your comments and suggestions in relation to last year’s directory, which informed the production of this year’s publication.

The directory was compiled from questionnaires sent in March to all organisations in receipt of Arts Council revenue funding in 2004, seeking information about their arts-in-schools activities, if any. Local authority arts officers and the Council of National Cultural Institutions were also surveyed. The document is presented in two parts. Part One summarises the information in a series of overviews – by county, by artform and by age range. We hope that this makes the directory more accessible and easier for readers to locate an organisation in their area, working with a particular education level or an artform of interest, and so on. Part Two presents the information in detail; it lists all the organisations surveyed, along with appropriate contact details and their own descriptions of their arts-in-schools programming. The Arts Council is constantly responding to requests for information and advice relating to arts in schools from individual artists, arts organisations, schools and others. As an artist working or hoping to work in schools, you may wish to contact the Arts Council and find out how we can help support your work in education settings. The Arts Council offers financial supports for artists through grants to individual artists or groups of artists. Information on and application forms for these grants can be found in the Council’s practical guide, Supports for Artists. This explains how to apply for awards, how awards are assessed, the objectives of each award and who is eligible to apply. To get your copy of Supports for Artists, contact the Arts Council by telephone on 01 618 0200, by email at [email protected], or see www.artscouncil.ie.

Seeing Georgian Limerick, a beautiful photographic exhibition of Georgian Limerick celebrates the City while Presence 08 celebrates the wealth of Limerick’s artistic talent. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. Exhibition Opening: Seeing Georgian Limerick Kieran CLANCY Sean LYNCH Eamonn O’MAHONY Deirdre POWER 27th Nov – 4th Jan 2009 Limerick City Gallery of Art in association with Limerick Chapter of the Irish Georgian Society is delighted to announce Seeing Georgian Limerick, a jointly commissioned exhibition to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Georgian Society. Four artists Kieran Clancy, Sean Lynch, Eamonn O’Mahony, Deirdre Power have been invited to photograph Georgian Limerick. The historic and commercial centre of Limerick, the Georgian new town is extremely familiar, although many of the buildings are underused and have been allowed to decay. The exhibition celebrates the architectural character and the historic importance of the townscape, which are often not fully recognized. To ask the four artists to photograph what they see in Georgian Limerick was an invitation to reveal what has been hidden by familiarity and neglect; architectural coherence, moments of monumentality. Images can show what is normally unseen; the richness of the interior decoration, the life of the lanes. Taken from oblique perspectives the photographs have the potential to uncover an unfamiliar Georgian Limerick. With the power of photography to focus attention and even to transform the ordinary and taken-for-granted it is hoped that the exhibition will help to define the character and value of Georgian Limerick.

    1 | Page the EVOLUTION of 'IMMERSIVE

    THE EVOLUTION OF ‘IMMERSIVE’ EXHIBTIONS AT THE V&A MUSEUM, LONDON – 2008-2021 By Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh 1. Introduction GCDN members have expressed interest in the potential of ‘immersive’ exhibitions and related ‘experiences’ as programmatic elements that can meet their ambitions for broadening the base of their audiences. Audience analysis does demonstrate that these ‘experiences’ offer the opportunity of a cost-effective option with the ability to attract larger and more diverse audiences. As a result, there is particular curiosity about whether there is a basic underlying methodology, which can, however, create varied outputs that are faithful to the character and mission of their own districts. A comprehensive study of immersive exhibitions would require a book, so, as a starting point, this review examines the experience of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London – where we and colleagues have curated a series of immersive exhibitions over the last fifteen years. It stresses this was an evolutionary journey where skills, opportunities and confidence built up over time. However, the growth of a (semi-) commercial immersive exhibition market over this period means that GCDN members may have the opportunity of short circuiting such a process by connecting to an increasing number of ‘off the peg’ products, systems and creators in the post-Covid world. Sections 2, 3 and 4 trace the evolution as it happened, not simply as a matter of record but also to illustrate the interplay of opportunities, technology, sponsorship and other factors that impacted what was produced. Those seeking a summary overview may best move directly to Section 5 onwards.

Though difficult at times to live by, this simple but powerful idea in action will always deliver results. On a daily basis, the enormous task with the provision of vital city and community services, challenges us to remain mindful in our understanding of the basic principals that make a successful city. At the very core of this idea is the realisation that our vision and plans are most effective when they spring from the realisation that cities evolve organically and from within. As always our Local Government leadership and objectives of quality social and economic community support builds most effectively on a solid foundation of community strength and harmony.
