The 2005 article cited quite clearly states the following in the section 'Shaping a broader vision':

Improvement potential

[edit]

This is an important player in the Irish arts world, and has made an actual difference, and the article can be grown at least moderately with some digging, including:

  • More detailed history - the whole of the Sculptors Society of Ireland, an important body in its own right, should be here, followed by more of the VAI's activities and campaigns
  • A little on organisation and perhaps key figuress
  • At least See Also:, but perhaps more, on any crossover with other bodies such as the AAI, IVARO, Praxis (the newish artists' trade union), etc.


Additional ideas very welcome! SeoR (talk) 13:05, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
