Commissions

December 4, 2008
Visual Artists Ireland is currently undertaking a series of projects designed to support and develop the design and delivery of public art commissions.  


Advisory Service To Commissioners
As part of our help desk support, we provide an advisory service gratis to organisations who are preparing to advertise a commission. If you need support or advice with regard to initiating the commissioning process simply email us at: info@visualartists.ie

The Artists Brief - Advisory Document
Visual Artists Ireland has also prepared an advisory document that provides commissioning bodies with a series of checks that they can use to assess the 'health' of their calls for proposals. This document is available to download here:
