MAKE Symposium is an annual day-long gathering presented by MTU Crawford College of Art & Design. For 2024, its 10th edition, MAKE will feature an eminent group of speakers on the theme of Drawing and Materiality, subtitled "The Material Line", and be held on Saturday 2 March in MTU Cork School of Music Curtis Auditorium.
