ArtLinks
ArtLinks is a new art resource for creative practitioners, 18 years and over, who are resident in the administrative areas of County Carlow, County Kilkenny, County Waterford, County Wexford and County Wicklow. ArtLinks is coordinated by the ArtLinks Director working with the five County Arts Offices. The ArtLinks programme is based on several years consultation with local creative practitioners, specialist working groups with ongoing research and is supported by the Irish Arts Council.
ArtLinks aims to both provide a range of professional services to all creative practitioners and highlight their creative endeavours in this region to a wider audience.

Professional Development
Continuing professional development pertains to the skills, knowledge and understanding that creative practitioners need in order to develop their work practice and generate an income from this practice, on a life-long basis, beyond their initial creative training. The challenge of pursuing and sustaining a career as a creative practitioner lies in balancing the business of being a practitioner with the practice of being a creative practitioner.
