Don’t miss  the 5th annual get together for Visual Artists hosted by Visual Artists Ireland. This year’s influence is the area of opportunity, how do we build them; take advantage of them, and most of all how do we ensure that they are equal. As well as panel discussions, there will be presentations by fellow visual artists who will give insight into how they keep going and where they find their motivation and participants can also look forward to Speed Curating, Portfolio Reviews, Help Desks, Artists Speaking and the Visual Artists Café.
