The Visual Artists Ireland 'Show and Tell', provides artists with the opportunity to give a presentation on their practice in an informal setting where they can network and meet people with similar ideas and interests.
The presentations will be fast paced and will consist of 10 slides/images per speaker. The images will change automatically, giving the speaker a few seconds to talk about what is on the screen. This ensures that an equal amount of time is given to each image. There will be a maximum of 10 speakers asked to present. Speakers must be current members of Visual Artists Ireland.
