Streets Ahead
Streets Ahead was a street arts professional development programme which aimed to connect its participants through the exchange of experiences, exploring of ideas and swapping of knowledge & skills via a series of online workshops with leading practitioners and experts in the art forms, taking place across April, May and June of 2021. The programme, delivered in partnership with ISACS (Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle network) enjoyed excellent participation across the three strands ‘Leadership,’ ‘Street Skills’ and ‘Community’ and the feedback of participants has been incredibly positive. Supported by Creative Ireland, this innovative programme was designed to nurture and develop a range of street artists and practitioners across varying stages of their careers. To this end, the programme is devised with three distinct target groups in mind: • Those who are experienced and established in making street arts. • Those who are emerging or new to creating street arts. • Community groups who wish to engage and connect with their local communities through street arts. Following the experience, participants expressed an interest in developing a peer network to sustain and develop on the benefits of this workshop series. A number initiated an exploration of production practices for the benefit of the field.
