Advertising

When advertising and promoting opportunities for new commissions it is recommended to link into relevant artform resource agencies and professional associations and networks. This is the most efficient and cost effective way of reaching the artistic sector. 

Many of these organisations will have extensive mailing lists and disseminate information through e-bulletins. Some resource agencies, such as Visual Artists Ireland, Theatre Forum and Dance Ireland are membership organisations and will act in support of their membership. 

It is advisable to give a good lead-in time for advertising - allowing plenty of time before deadline submission dates. A minimum of six weeks is always recommended.

There is a great range of knowledge and information on best practice available on artists' resource agencies. See their websites below.
