Arts Administration students engage with the City: Knowing the Keys to Audience Development

The new group of Arts Administration students are, as always, a special group of individuals. They come from divergent backgrounds. The major factor they have in common is their desire to work with people in the capacity of arts management.



To date, they have been on a Walkabout around all of the major arts organisations in Cork City. This team-building exercise allows the students to begin their writing about the arts, in earnest as well as their interest in photographing people, each other working as well as the vibrancy of the city - including working as management volunteers with the City Arts Office for CULTURE NIGHT; visiting Civic Trust (Festival) House and each individual student being placed in Work Placement in one of Cork's major arts organisations including Cork Opera House; Glucksman Gallery; Art Trail; Cork Film Festival; Civic Trust House; Backwater Artists Group and Wandesford Quay Gallery.



The students are in the process of planning, organising, staffing and working on the 11th Annual Exhibition of CSN student Art Work at Cork Vision Centre @ St. Peter's, opening Thursday 2nd February 2012. The exhibition is entitled Mind's Eye, and the interpretive planning we are working on includes the "Mind's Eye" concept of creativity, studied by great philosophers and thinkers, such as Albert Einstein. We all see the world through our "Mind's Eye".



Updates on the event will follow. We are dedicated to keeping the public informed about the progress of the Art and Design Department and the participation of the public in our events, exhibitions and open days.
