Information Toolbox provides an ideal environment for new and emerging Irish companies/artists to promote their shows, pitch work to venues and festivals and begin dialogue with key funding agencies and support organisations. This event also provides participants, whose work shows potential to tour abroad, with an opportunity to meet with international organisations and theatre/dance presenters. This year presenters came from Antrim, Carlow, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Meath, Sligo and Tipperary as well as from the UK, Iceland, Germany and Australia.
*REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS NOW CLOSED*
At the 2013 Information Toolbox 50 artists/companies met with 48 arts organisations (including 12 International presenters) across more than 800 meetings. There were 130 participants in all.
It’s such a valuable event and really feel I understand the Irish arts scene panoramically much better than I did and I had the pleasure of speaking to many inspiring artists. LJ Dodd – The Arches
