The Future of the Arts in County Sligo-Have your Say


 

In 2007 the Arts Department of Sligo County Council will publish a new Strategic Plan for the Arts (2007-2012). To inform the planning process the Arts Department is hosting a series of artform focus-group and public consultation meetings during January and February 2007.

The consultations will inform you about the Arts Department’s proposed Plan (2007-2012) and provide an opportunity to make a contribution to the development of the Plan. Your suggestions and feedback is encouraged as your input is important to us.

The format for the meetings will be a presentation by the Arts Officer, Mary McAuliffe, followed by a facilitated discussion and feedback session. An information document is available for download and is also available on www.sligoarts.ie to assist you in participating in the consultation process. This document outlines the broad context for the Arts Plan and its guiding principles. We would encourage you to read the document before the scheduled meetings.

Details of the meeting’s location, time and dates are listed below. All meetings are open to practicing artists and people interested in the artform.
