South Dublin County Council Arts Office has just initiated the consultation process for the next five year arts development strategy for the county. They're planning to carry out a number of focus group consultations that will feed ideas and themes into a seminar in September 2010. To book a place on the seminar please contact the RUA RED Box Office - details below.
The previous five year strategy (2006-2010) can be found on the arts website at http://arts.southdublin.ie but specifically in relation to supporting artists - this is what we said we would try to achieve five years ago:
• Provide opportunities for career development for artists of all artistic disciplines.
• Provide opportunities for artists to inform and develop their practice.
• Develop artist workspaces throughout the county.
• Support artist led programme development.
• Sustain local arts development by supporting local artists.
• Stimulate interaction across artistic disciplines, cultural background and professions.
Are these priorities still relevant today?
