Cultural Diversity and the Arts Research
The Arts Council and the National Action Plan against Racism (NPAR) entered into partnership in 2008 to carry out a significant research project to inform the development of a cultural diversity policy for the arts and an action plan to support culturally diverse practice into the future. The Arts Council then engaged Create, to manage the extensive research and consultation phases of the ambitious project.
The research will inform arts policy in the area of Cultural Diversity and be used as the basis for recommendations for the development of an Arts Council Action Plan that will enable minority ethnic and cultural groups to participate and contribute more fully to the cultural life of Ireland.
