MEASURING THE EXPERIENCE – 9
I studied300 artist-led groups in 1995 so one thing I’ll be doing to update my original research is reviewing how many of that original number remain now and of those who do, finding out whether they are actually still ‘artist-led’.
Interestingly perhaps there were 15 listed as ‘professional bodies’ – some with membership in their 100s – and at first glance I reckon that all but three have disappeared. One of these is now more broadly based – Society of Sculptors in Ireland merged into Visual Arts Ireland.
