Professional Development & Training Programme for Artists

Tearmann - A Professional Development & Training Programme for Artists

Tearmann is a cross border Artist Development Programme which makes available an outstanding facility and contemporary cultural resource to a generation and future arts administrators from both sides of the border.

Taking inspiration from the gaelic term ‘Tearmann’, meaning sanctuary, this project focuses on the spirit of Donegal (Dún na nGall) in terms of landscape, culture and environment. The programme offers a structured practical basis, in a culturally unique context, an artists’ training and development programme.

Tearmann is accredited by the Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, The National University of Ireland, Galway, who offer a 'Diploma in Arts Practice'. There will be special assistance for Irish learners who wish to participate fully in the programme.

Modules offered through the Tearmann Programme:

• Lithography
• Etching/Intaglio
• Book-Making
• Career Development
• Contemporary Gaelic Culture
• Video Editing - Desktop Publishing

Applications are welcome from people who can demonstrate a commitment to completing the programme and who either work as an artist, who are interested in working in an art environment or who are interested in working in the Arts Administration field. The closing date for applications has now been extended to the: 25th of September 2006.
