We support an increase in @artscouncil_ie funding to €160m in #Budget2025. At a time of record demand, escalating costs for artists & arts organisations, and a record shortfall in funding requests met, increased investment is needed to support the sector https://t.co/3R7bfBO2v0
Our final plenary of the day is a passionate discussion on the housing crisis in Ireland.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of artist and former @CreateIreland Director Dr. Ailbhe Murphy.
Deeply passionate about artists and communities working together, she made lasting contributions to the arts and will be sadly missed.

A moving discussion about Traveller heritage, identity, artefacts and art with Seamus Nolan and Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh @paveebeoir. And the challenges of collaboration and connection. A wonderful friendship to behold. Hosted by Charles Duggan @heritage_dublin
We’re delighted to dive into the world of @dubcilib in May to help shape their new development plan. Libraries play a huge civic and social role in urban life—we’d love to know what your local library means to you. #DublinCityLibraries#PublicEngagement
Great to work with @AmicitiaProject to deliver training on creative tools for inclusive community engagement in local planning and decision-making. @pobal#CommunityinclusionGuide is a fantastic resource.
Great piece on the #ReimaginingElderhood project and film in this month’s @RIAIOnline about co-creation between architects and end users in neighbour redesign. Particularly loved the quote about vibrancy in older age and emphasis on inter generational living

As mid-winter arrives and the year closes, we want to reflect on our activities in 2023 and thank all the communities, creatives, collaborators, partners, and funders with whom we’ve worked. Have a restful and peaceful festive break.
What a brilliant, practical, creative placemaking toolkit created by our @TheStovies collaborator @KWheelArt. Scottish inspiration for community-led, place-based creativity and collaboration!
