sligo local  

Throughout 2009, Elliott Harris developed 'Sligo Local', a project through the local arts community in and around Sligo, Ireland.

We're interested in generating support systems and means to facilitate the self management and empowerment of artistic practice. Specifically our approach looks at how discussion, collaborative engagement, artist-led activity and networks offer the kind of non-hierarchical support that grows a practice naturally.

Through a series of discussions and meetings we engaged local artists with the goal of creating an interactive platform that is designed to serve the community.

Please see our news section for updates on how the project went.

Feb 2009 - Oct 2009

We kindly acknowledge the generous support of The Model :: Niland, Arts Counci, and The Riverside Suites Hotel, Sligo
