Seven schools in the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown area are to take part in the council's artists-in-schools scheme.

The seven schools will work on projects involving a variety of media, including mosaics, painting and ceramics. Other projects will include drama/dance and an international folk dance project.

Schools interested in taking part in next year's scheme are advised to begin planning now. For details contact the arts office (tel: (01) 2054719).
