Sinéad Foley is a past student of the Arts Administration course. Originally from West Cork, she now lives and works in Darwin, Australia.
"I graduated from Limerick School of Art and Design, in 2005, with a B.A. in Printmaking. A past student of CSN told me about the Arts Administration course. I was a student at CSN from 2007-2008. During the course, I did Work Experience with the National Sculpture Factory in administration and also volunteered for Art Trail. I also had the opportunity to act as Project Manager, with fellow-student, Anna Crudge, for the CSN May art and design exhibition, entitled "Up the Walls". Overall , my experience on the course was broad and varied and covered all aspects of working in the arts industry. I found the course challenging, but overcoming each challenge was thoroughly rewarding".
"I am now working for the Mbantua Gallery, Darwin (www.mbantua.com.au) as a Gallery Assistant. The gallery specialises in contemporary aboriginal art from the Utopia Region near Alice Springs. I decided to move to Australia as I believe it offers better job and lifestyle opportunities. All the skills I learned on the Arts Administration course are relevant and being put into practice in my current job. I got a lot out of the course thanks to the tutors' passion for the subject, which working in "it", I now understand."
