Welcome to episode two of The Irish Art podcast with Andrew, Attracta and Sarah Eva Manson. This is a venture that we have wanted to do for a long time and have now decided to jump right in headfirst and learn as we go. We will let you know tips and tricks and what works and what was a total flop so that you can make informed decisions going forward and hopefully you will get inspired and gain the confidence to take the first step on your creative journey.

In this episode, we discuss our preparations for submitting to the RHA and whether you make work to fit the next submission or do you use the submission as a notch in the timeline of which this body of work is developing, whether applying for grants is difficult for a reason and how one should go about it.
