What is Young Model?
Are you between 14 – 20 years and interested in art, film and music?  Are you bursting with ideas, eager to share your opinion and excited to learn about art?  Do you know anything about The Niland Collection at the Model and its artists? If you want to get stuck in and join the young model team this summer we are embarking on our most challenging project yet!


The Interview

Young model are interviewing ten outstanding Irish artists whose work is represented in The Niland Collection. These exciting interviews with artists as diverse as Nick Miller, Barrie Cooke and Sean McSweeney will be hosted on The Model website as an online research archive to be launched early 2010, just in time for The Model re-opening. The Interview project is kindly supported by The Arts Council Youth Ensemble Scheme.
Keep up-to-date on how the Interview project has been progressing by following young model's blog posts here

Gracelands (View Gracelands page)
On September 26th, Young Model hit Gracelands, an outdoor festival of art, now in it’s second year, on the grounds of the Mimetic House, Dromahair, Co. Leitrim.  Mimetic stems from the seventeen century Greek word meaning ‘imitation’ and to mimic the Interview project, young model will catch up with a number of young Irish contemporary artists. Interviews with artists Mark Garry, Isabel Nolan, Sam Keogh and Bea MacMahon will be conducted on location and in keeping with the theme of this year’s festival Folly.
