Artist Support - The Elephant in the Room

Draíocht is thrilled to welcome writer and theatre maker Paul Curley to our Workshop Room this week. Paul is back in the building developing a brand new piece for young audiences called 'The Elephant in the Room', which will install in Scoil Mhuire Senior School in Blakestown on 10th June, for 1 week.

Described as 'An Outrageous Interruption', this extra-large-scale sculpture promises to make a giant impression!

Draíocht is recognised as a creative hub and laboratory space and invests significantly in the development of artist's practice by the provision of benefit in kind support such as space, technical support, admin/marketing support and specialist expertise. We offer a wide range of opportunities to artists i.e. commissions, residencies, artist studios/rehearsal space, co-productions, co-commissions, seed funding, mentoring.

Our Artist Support Series, launched during Covid-19, has helped 79 artists in 2020, 50 artists in 2021, 74 artists in 2022 and 53 artists in 2023, with the provision of free rehearsal and creative space. Space to rehearse, write, create, film, dance, think & plan ... whatever is needed!With thanks to our funders Fingal County Council & The Arts Council.
