Is this for you?
- You don't need to have a qualification to participate
- You must have practiced one of the above artforms (or others) at some point in your life
- If you are not currently practising, you can still participate
- You can be from any country in the world, including Ireland, of course!

What does the network do?
We meet both online and in person to talk about your art, make art together, learn about opportunities in South Dublin County to develop your skills as an artist (like training, mentoring and funding etc).
As this is a new network the list of possible activities will be decided together, so you will be able to shape the programme of initiatives.
