With a focus on live art practices, we seek to create a community connecting the local with broader networks of artists and audience. With a focus on artists who produce work outside mainstream or normative arts institutions, our plans are to foster outstanding and astounding multi-disciplinary research, experimentation and art production. Our goal is to create opportunities for both local, national and international artists working in the areas of live art and performance art, contemporary dance, participatory practice and artist film and video.
We wish to create opportunities for local (Tipperary) as well as national and international artists to contribute to a committed and connected art scene in the West Midlands of Ireland.]To develop the contribution of contemporary live art, performance to the social and economic development of rural Ireland. To create new opportunities for audiences to participate in cutting edge contemporary art.
To build a highly regarded both locally and internationally centre of excellence in the Arts arts in North Tipperary and the wider area, while working from sustainable principles to ensure that all our activities are sustainable and tread lightly on the Earth
Fostering an ArK for wildlife and actively rewilding and encouraging artists to engage with the land and landscape
We have an inclusive policy around being aware of attending to intersections of class, able-bodied normativity, Travellers, BIPOC and gender and sexuality, particularly Queer, Transgender and Intersex People of Colour, and including individuals, groups and parents of younger children.
We are located in the lush West Midlands in North Tipperary very close to Portumna and Borrisokane. Live art Ireland is hosted by Deej Fabyc and MJ Newell
