Background
WWAR or the Wicklow Working Artists’ Research group began over a number of months in 2012–2013, after an open call for participants
the group of artists were selected. This project is just one of a series of approaches by the Wicklow Arts Office to support and develop visual arts activity in the County. Residencies, projects and artists groups have been supported by the local authority over the last number of years as part of a strong development strategy for the visual artists and curators. The sessions have in turn led to the proposed creation of a project Vita Active, 2013 a new collaborative work, a 24-hour event as a work of art reflecting on the artist as worker. The artists also undertook screening workshop in the Black Church Print Studio and made a series of screen prints.
