Deadline: Friday 5 February 2021
The National Gallery of Ireland invites schools to apply to participate in Your Gallery at School, a new holistic outreach programme that brings the National Gallery of Ireland directly to schools.
Over the course of 2021, The National Gallery of Ireland will work with six primary schools that wouldn’t usually be able to visit the Gallery, to create a tailored programme of activities for their students.
Participating schools will be selected via an open application process. Selected schools will not have visited the Gallery in the past three years and will be from one or more of three key groups:
- DEIS schools to address socio-economic barriers to accessing culture.
- Boys’ schools to address the gender barrier to accessing culture.
- Schools geographically far away (over 2 hours away from Dublin) to address the geographic barrier to accessing culture.
The closing date: Friday 5 February 2021
Your Gallery at School aims to break down the barriers that prevent engagement with the arts through holistic programming that ensures children transition to adulthood equipped with the life-changing benefits of art.
