Peer 2 Peer Series: Jazz Cats in the Bag 2024

About this event

Join Irish Women in Jazz for the final 'Peer 2 Peer' session of 2024, facilitated by vocalist, activist & art psychotherapist Emilie Conway

Join us for a peer to peer session that is cozy and caring in which we will review, reflect and celebrate together our creative triumphs and challenges overcome in our practice over 2024.

The creative industries are tough with rejection, competition and over-work being all part of an artist's day's work. Most artists find it very challenging to balance work, practice, personal life and family, and the financial precarity. As we come to the end of year yet again, it benefits our mental and physical health to take stock, affirm our work and our wins, consider our self-care and celebrate together.

This event is open to all female-identifying practicing musicians.
