Training programmes which will be held this season include: Taxation for Artists Writing Successful Funding Applications / Developing Funding Streams Developing your Professional Network Promoting your Artistic Practice Online Strategic Planning for your Artistic Business Speaking earlier today Sinead Barden, Arts Officer Wexford County Council stated. “Myself and my ArtLinks partner colleagues are really pleased to be in a position to reintroduce the ArtLinks Training Programme this Autumn. We have listened and responded to what artists on the ground are saying to us and have designed a programme which is suited specifically to their needs at the present time. In addition, ArtLinks is lending financial support to this programme to keep fees for programmes to a minimum. It is our intention to continue to develop this programme over the next number of years, funding permitting, and look forward to continuing to develop a programme which suits the needs of both professional and emerging artists in Wexford.” Registration for the programme is essential as places for each training programme are limited.
