is for the purpose of building a critical and supportive framework.

Young Art Writers Programme 2019

In partnership with RHA Gallery and The LAB Gallery

31 August, 7 September, 14 September, date in November TBC, 2019

Ages 18 – 25

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

After the success of the first Young Art Writers programme in 2018, which took place in
partnership with the RHA gallery, we are delighted to announce the 2019 Young Art Writers
Programme, with a new partner on board, The LAB Gallery. This year the programme will take
place from 11am – 4pm over three Saturdays: 31 August (TBG+S), 7 September (RHA) and 14
September (The LAB), and culminate with a day in November during the 2019 Dublin Art Book
Fair at TBG+S (date TBC).

The programme is designed for anyone age 18 – 25 who is interested in art and writing or who
would like to be introduced to this area. No previous experience is necessary and all levels of
writing ability are welcome.

The programme is devised to immerse the participants into thinking about writing in relation to
the visual arts in a number of ways, in order to support the participants formulating their own
writing practice. Each day will be located in each of the galleries, and will combine a workshop
with events such as exhibition tours, studio visits, talks, and group discussions. Each day the
group will explore a different aspect of writing and this creative process, including performance,
collaboration, response, critiquing, exhibiting, and more.

Workshops will be facilitated by artists and writers Nathan O’Donnell (Paper Visual Art), Lisa Freeman,
and Lily Cahill (winner of DCC/VAI Art Writing Award 2019). Participants will receive exhibition tours at
the three galleries, visit artist Suzanne Walshe in her studio at Fire Station Artists’ Studios, attend a
talk by writer Kevin Breathnach (Next Generation Artist 2018), and more. Participants will be encouraged
to think about various possibilities of writing in and around art and to be open to engaging with new
techniques, critical thinking, and more. The programme will be faciltiated by artist and writer, Molly May
O'Leary.

Collaborative Language-Making Workshop

In association with Dublin Learning City Festival
ARC IADT and The LAB Gallery12.04.19

This workshop is based on collaborating through text and language to deliver short presentations or
performances. Participants will be invited to find descriptive/emotive language and words in the
provided texts and expand on this with their own writing. Participants will work individually and
collaboratively to consider timing, placement of words and actions (if any).

The outcome will be the development of a new narrative that will be removed from its original context.
Participants will gain experience of performing this ‘new language’ in front of a group and receiving
directions and advice from Lisa Freeman.

Venue: The LAB Gallery, studio 4

Maximum number of participants: 12

Material: Text books, magazines, newspapers, construction manuals.
Content of material - Feminist / self help / fiction.
