Vol. 437 No. 3

Written Answers. - Art Exhibitions in Primary Schools.

John Browne

Ceist:

18 Mr. Browne (Carlow-Kilkenny) asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the plans, if any, he has to bring art into the primary schools by way of visiting exhibitions.

This is a matter for An Chomhairle Ealaíon who have informed me that five specially commissioned exhibitions tour post-primary schools in five designated counties each year. At a local level post-primary schools do make arrangements for adjacent primary schools to view these exhibitions.

In addition, An Chomhairle's artist in schools scheme provides a fund whereby seven arts venues-organisations are grantaided to subsidise the cost of illustrated talks and workshops by artists in primary and post-primary schools.
