Creative Campus 2016
Centenary was the theme of this year Creative Campus...
Creative Campus
Creative Campus is a yearly visual arts programme from January – May for young artists studying at third level.
Artists studying at third level work with their peers to create artworks for public exhibition under the mentoring of professional artists and curators.
Participants are brought through a process that considers the following:
- Working collaboratively with peers to realise artwork for public exhibition
- Creating works of art that give great consideration to how audiences may interact with or react to the works of art they realise
- Linking with young artists studying in second level schools through workshops and exhibition tours.
Katherine Atkinson, who works in Professional Development for Create – the national development agency for collaborative arts stated about the programme:
“Mentoring is an exciting and developmental process for both mentee and mentor. It is exhilarating for emerging artists to share artistic ideas and to test them out with professional support - mentors also find this process stimulating within their own arts practice. This unique experience enhances the Big Picture.”
Creative Campus takes place through partnership between South Dublin County Council Arts Office, Tallaght Community Arts and NCAD.
