MOOT VII: 'INNO-VISION' Art, Creativity, Education and Innovation
Friday February 4, 2011
Butler House, Patrick Street, Kilkenny
Doors open at 1.45pm Starting at 2pm
Kilkenny County Council's Arts Office in collaboration with the Butler Gallery is delighted to launch the seventh in the series of MOOT discussions, debates and seminars. MOOT is a continuous creative process providing a forum for powerful, focused and inspirational debates and discussion on a variety of subject matters and have included in previous years 'architectural design : art gallery', 'reel to digital : focus on film' and 'The Current Climate: Art, Ecology and Sustainability'. These events will, potentially, transform expectations, citing shifts in attitudes, perceptions and beliefs.
MOOT VII 'Inno-Vision' is the first event dealing with how arts, creativity and education link to innovation and the business sector. This discussion, like previous events, will be an open format event where artists, curators, academics etc. and the general public are invited to question how arts and creativity can contribute to addressing Ireland's cultural and economic future. Moot VII will dispel creativity 'myths', focusing on how we can harness creative thinking and innovation in the arts and creative sectors in today's society, channeling it into the right areas to create a country that is not dependent on foreign investment for its livelihood. It will explore conections and overlap between the worlds of the arts, education and business to think about how to make the most of creative talent and change peoples' ways of thinking about their creativity.
This panel discussion will take place on Friday 4th February in Butler House, Patrick Street, Kilkenny at 2pm. Admission Free. Places limited so please do book at niamh.finn@kilkennycoco.ie. Walk-ins welcome on day if room available.
