The funds for travel and living expenses will be transferred in advance

Arthouse will provide a high level of hospitality to its guests,
including a reception at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Conference
Dinners, and a full day's tour of historical and cultural sites,
including a visit to the Newgrange neolithic site. Although no
honorarium is presently available or offered, Arthouse will make every
effort to raise funding for this purpose.

the Arthouse website. Arthouse will design and produce a two sheet
brochure, part of the cost of which will be borne by CAiiA. For these
purposes, speakers will be required to provide a portrait photograph, an
image of their work, a 200 word biographical note and a 200 word
