Practice.ie is an online space for arts practice with children and young people. Building on Practice.ie’s day-long artist meetings around the country, Practice.ie is forming regional artist groups. Currently, we are forming a regional artists group in Kilkenny. The regional groups are developed locally by arts practitioners/ co-ordinators. The aim is to meet together on a regular basis, critique and discuss practice and the outcomes will be posted online.
