Frontiers – All Ireland Arts Therapies/Creative Arts Therapies Convocation

Cultural Frontiers

Get ready for booking the cultural frontiers events planned for Friday afternoon and evening (October 13th), Saturday evening (October 14th) and on Sunday afternoon (October 15th), supporting forays beyond the conference agenda into Dublin streets, eateries and an art destination or two.

The cultural fringe is an opportunity to explore Dublin with cultural curators Anne Marie Walker, Laura Smith, Siobhan Bereen, Angie O’Brien and Pamela Whitaker. Booking links will appear for conference presenters, workshop facilitators and conference registrants. This is a chance to meet before and after conference hours to socialise, cultivate professional networks, and to launch energising initiatives. We hope new creative partnerships will emerge after these times out together.

During the conference there will also be art on display from Technological University Dublin Fine Art graduates.

Join Us!
