Claire Meaney, Director of Waterford Healing Arts Trust, added \u201cOur work in arts and health has partnership at its core, so we\u2019re delighted that a number of our healthcare partners specialising in care of the older person are joining us to share their experience and expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Justine Foster, Programme Manager, Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre, concluded \u201cOur three organisations have devised this programme in response to the need for more training, artist networking opportunities and practical orientation in this specialised area of work, and we\u2019re really excited to have such a rich offering of artists from different art forms who have generously agreed to share their insight and perspective with arts practitioners coming through.\u00a0 It promises to be an inspiring and energising few days.\u00a0 Our sincere thanks to our funders, the Arts Council and the HSE, for their ongoing support.\u201d<\/p>\n
