Sexual Harassment in the Arts and Culture Sector: Discussion
2:30 pm
Ms Orlaith McBride:
I will speak about how inclusive the workshops around the country are across art forms. The Arts Council represents and supports all art forms. Therefore, these events are for the entire arts sector. There has been a focus on the theatre community in recent weeks, but what we are doing relates to the entire arts sector. We have many resource organisations with which we work very closely. The organisations in question, which include Visual Artists Ireland and Words Ireland, support individual artists, including individual writers and individual visual artists. We work with the resource organisations to find ways of supporting them in supporting individual artists.
