Virtually There is a long-term virtual-artist-in-residence project run by Kids’ Own and part-funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. The project explores the potential for creative engagement between artists working from their studio and children using video-conferencing technology.
Virtually There is a continuation of the Space and Place project, which began in 2007, in which artist Ann Henderson worked with children from Ballydown Primary School in Co. Down both through real and remote communication. In 2009, the project was extended to an additional artist, Ann Donnelly, and another school, Donaghey Primary School in Dungannon. In 2012, the project extends to 7 schools and 7 artists. The Artists, teachers and Children will use this space to reflect on their learning through out the programme.
