Getting Going and Keeping Going

Age & Opportunity and the RHA presents ‘Getting going and keeping going’ 

Tuesday 5th November 11.30 AM- 3.30 PM, RHA Friends Room  

Getting going and keeping going is a professional development event which aims to provide inspiration, pathways and mentoring supports for artists wishing to emerge and sustain an art practice in later life. The day will be divided into two parts and starts with a morning session featuring artists Karen Ebbs and Anita Groener in conversation, followed by an afternoon mentoring session, both of which must be separately booked.

Discussion: 11.30am - 1.00pm

This discussion invites emerging and experienced artists Karen Ebbs and Anita Groener respectively, to look at the challenges, models and tools to develop and sustain a practice in later life and explore how to stay motivated and connected in the second part of your career.

Places are free and are booked separately.

Mentoring: 1.30pm - 3.30pm

The afternoon will provide 30 minute mentoring opportunities for small groups of artists led by Karen Ebbs and Anita Groener. There are 9 places available to book for each artist (18 in total) and places will be reserved on a first come first served basis. Artists should bring a laptop with some examples of their work which they can present at their allocated mentoring session for a maximum of 3 mins.

Places cost €10 and are booked separately.

Artists booking mentoring slots are encouraged to attend and book a place at the discussion. To ensure a place at the discussion mentees must book by Friday 18th October.
