Selma Daniel is delighted to be part of the Irish delegation of artists, festivals, producers and funders to be attending IPAY 2020 in Philadelphia, USA supported by the Arts Council.
International Performing Arts for Youth (IPAY) was incorporated in 2001 as a service agency for producers, promoters, and presenters in the field. It grew out of the efforts of the pioneers of quality children’s programming in the United States and Canada to organize the Annual International Showcase Conference. The first International Showcase was presented in Chicago in March 1979.
