Arts Council August Newsletter

Welcome to the August edition of the Arts Council newsletter

In August, the Arts Council published a new pamphlet as part of the series the Value of the Arts written by academic Kevin Whelan. The pamphlet, entitled Between filiation and affiliation: the space of art, describes the role art plays in our development as a society, and the role of the artistic imagination in creating the future. You can download a copy of this, and all the pamphlets in the series from our website.

Elsewhere in the newsletter, we present www.artsanddisability.com, the first all-Ireland website to provide information, resources and facts about arts and disability; we announce a further three-year initiative for the Traditional Arts, we remind you about deadlines for the Commissions Award, the Small Festivals scheme and Annual Funding 2009 and announce the latest Deis decisions.

The newsletter rounds off with our regular articles on news from the arts community and international opportunities from the Cultural Contact Point.
