Report – TRADE Seminar, Paper Visual Art Journal, January 2011
TRADE is an annual Visual Arts Programme supported by Leitrim and Roscommon County Councils, and the Arts Council of Ireland.The initiative consists of a residency phase (where four local artists work under the mentorship of an invited artist) and a seminar event – which has historically displayed a substantial engagement with current critical discourse. In providing a platform for ‘local artists to engage internationally as well as for international artists to participate locally’, an interesting legacy has evolved out of contributions from an array of participating artists, curators and thinkers.
