Theatre Forum has been been organising Open Space meetings since 2006 with over 1000+ people attending meetings in Limerick, Dublin, Cork and Galway and Waterford and more are planned. 

Open Space is an opportunity to meet up with artists and arts professionals.  An Open Space meeting has no keynote speakers or panel discussions and all topics can be put on the table. It’s a very democratic way of ensuring that as many voices as possible are heard. It’s also good fun and very energising forum for discussion and change.

Our Open Space meetings are always free and all our welcome. 

Our most recent Open Space meeting took place in Waterford on February 17. You can see the flyer for the day here and full notes and photos from the day are available here.
