Arts and Education: Discussion
1:30 pm
Ms Helen O'Donoghue:
In terms of the subject area, the Irish Museum of Modern Art works very closely with the Art Teachers' Association of Ireland annually on many levels.
It is a member of Encountering the Arts Ireland, ETAI. The National College of Art and Design, NCAD, which I know is not the only teacher formation for teacher provision in the country, is also a member. As mentioned, the relationship with the NCCA and the NAPD is interwoven in terms of our work. We would have been very supportive of the state-of-the-arts campaign, which they mounted very successfully and imaginatively to draw attention to the 50 year old curriculum, the revision of which we are looking forward to seeing. We cover as much as we can across those fields.
