Wexford County Council Arts Department, in partnership with Wexford Arts Centre and the Arts Council, is seeking applications from primary schools and visual artists to participate in the Living Arts Project.
Under the scheme, selected primary schools will have the opportunity to host an artist in residence during the school year, the aim being to provide children with an understanding and appreciation of contemporary visual art.
Eight Wexford-based artists will be selected and partnered with schools to create a body of work over the academic year. The project also offers teachers an opportunity to observe and learn creative practices for use in the classroom.
