This ninety minute workshop  Per Cent For Art in Ireland will address current opportunities, discuss what is needed  in a proposal and application to a Per Cent for Art commission, and look at the production, delivery and promotion of a finished project. This workshop will present information but will be discursive in nature, allowing for artists to ask questions in relation to their own practices. In preparation for this workshop, participants are asked to look at www.publicart.ie
