Artist Working Talk for Culture Night
Elena Santos in conversation with Cecilia Danel
Go raibh míle maith agat to everyone who joined us to celebrate Culture Night! Our special Artist Working Talk featured a rich and inspiring conversation between visual artist Elena Santos and visual artist Cecilia Danell, who shared insights into her creative process, professional journey, and the realities of sustaining a career in the arts today.
The event was part of our ongoing Artist Working Talks series, curated and presented by Elena Santos. These conversations bring together professional artists from diverse backgrounds to discuss their practice, challenges, and experiences. The series aims to foster dialogue within the professional art sector while offering emerging artists and the wider public a chance to learn from the struggles, achievements, and creative evolution of established practitioners.
Through these talks, we explore the shared ground between different art forms and question what it truly means to be a professional artist in today’s cultural landscape.
We can’t wait to share more artist stories with you in the future at our studio, and we would also love to come to a space near you sometime soon. If you are interested in hosting our talks as part of your exhibitions, festivals, or events, we would love to hear from you!

We also want to thank the Galway City Arts Office and Galway City Council for funding this event and for their continued support. Thanks to public funding, you can access art and culture free of admission, and artists are fairly paid for their work.
