Bringing Live Arts to Students and Teachers (BLAST) Arts in Education Residencies
The aim of the Blast Project is to provide students in primary and post-primary schools across the country with the opportunity to collaborate with professional artists on unique, creative projects. These projects are planned and developed jointly by the artist, the teacher, and the school, ensuring that each experience is tailored and designed to fit the school’s particular needs.
