Award-winning visual artist Jane Hayes discusses the challenges and opportunities of creating and presenting work for early years audiences. There are few exhibitions for this age group as the area of early years visual arts practice is developing in Ireland. Equally emergent is the inclusion of young children’s voices in the process.
Jane shares her innovative approaches to creating ambitious and playful visual art with and for early years children. Although Jane is a visual artist, she highlights how theatre for young audiences influences and drives her practice. Having recently toured her work, 'Sweet Home Sweet' (2023) nationally, Jane shares her experiences of touring and presenting visual art to a range of early years audiences in various contexts.
