Event
National | Dialogue Arts + Health is a one-day event taking place in RUA RED, Tallaght, Dublin on Tuesday 6 December 2011. It aims to explore shared outlooks for arts and health practice in Ireland. The event will be of interest to artists, arts organisations, health professionals, health service users, and others interested in the area of arts and health practice.
National | Dialogue Arts + Health invites delegates to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of partnership and collaboration in healthcare contexts, and will explore questions such as:
- What are the characteristics of the partnerships and collaborations that are happening in arts and health practice?
- How do we balance the priorities of arts practice with the priorities of the healthcare sector?
- How do we explore the ethical questions around the ownership of artworks developed in healthcare settings?
- Is it possible to further encourage and facilitate creative risk taking in arts and health practice in Ireland?
- How do we cultivate leadership in the area of arts and health practice in Ireland?
