Background

NOISE Dublin has come from our previous programme, NOISE South Dublin.

Based on Australia Council’s NOISE site, South Dublin County’s site showcased work created by young artists and provided a space to develop interests and practice through collaboration with and mentoring by a NOISE Project Artist on the actual space of the website.

An evaluation of NOISE South Dublin was carried out by an independent researcher from October 2010 to March 2011 with young artists in our communities.

Through this evaluation, we were given a lot of good advice on how we could better support young artists. From this study, we worked in partnership with Dublin City Council, Temple Bar Cultural Trust and the National Youth Council of Ireland to develop the arts and cultural events listing site yam.ie and relaunched our NOISE site here.
