A Public Artwork by Chris Reid for Nicholas Street, Ross Road, Bride Street and Bride Road, Dublin Create will support artist Chris Reid to produce a publication based on recorded oral narratives about Nicholas Street, Bride Street, Ross Road and Bride Road in Dublin 8. Artist Chris Reid has completed the permanent public artwork consisting of 21 bronze plaques and a forthcoming book. It is envisaged that the publication will include a number of archive photographs of the neighbourhood and the Texts which comprise a core part of the artwork based on recordings the artist made from 2004 to 2008 with residents and people associated with Nicholas Street, Ross Road, Bride Street, and Bride Road. The oral narratives transcribed for the publication are based on the lived experiences of the project participants who are residents of the area. The project is funded by Dublin City Council as a Per Cent for Art commission. This work was commissioned through Dublin City Council's Public Art Programme, arising from the refurbishment of these buildings and funded by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

An ambitious collaboration between the third level education provider, a non profit arts organisation and civil society sought to address complex questions about heritage and contemporary Irish society. Placing Voices Voicing Places was a partnership between a number of departments in UCD (Archaeology, Sociology and Art Management and Cultural Policy), Create the national development agency for collaborative arts, and the Integration office, Dublin City Council. All strands of the programme were funded by the Heritage Council. The project had as its starting point for investigation two urban communities in Dublin with divergent historical trajectories – one, traditional working class deemed to be in decline, and another with new immigrant communities.

Create in association with the Leitrim County Council Arts office hosted: Focusing on themes of Dialogue as methodology and intercultural competence and Ritual as collective cultural memory, the symposium sought to challenge conventions about public art and offer insights into practices, projects and outcomes. Keynote Speakers included Dragan Klaic and John Fox
was hosted by Create in association with OUT OF SITE on 24 August 2007 at The Odessa Club, Dame Court, Dublin 2 Participating artists - LIGNA (Germany), Carole Lung (USA), Fergus Byrne (Ireland), Aileen Lambert (Ireland), Sandra Johnston (Northern Ireland) - explored the relationship between risk taking and innovation in their practice, identifying the ways in which risk is essential to the vibrancy of live art. How do artists calculate risk and how might curators support live artists to play with risk and the fear of failure? When audiences are invited to journey with an artist to test the boundaries of their role as viewer/spectator what precisely is at stake? RISK questioned the relationship of audience and artist and the management of uncertainty in live art. RISK was chaired by Áine Philips. The seminar was the second in the series of Create Think Tanks - an initiative of Create. Create Think Tank encourages and facilitates discussion on innovation and development in collaborative arts practice.
Create in partnership with NCAD and ResCen, Middlesex University, UK collaborated to provide opportunities for artist led international dialogue and exchange in February 2007. Create and ResCen host an informal seminar, ARTIST EXCHANGE: process, practice and the audience, which took place on Tuesday 27 February, 2007 at Studio, Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, London. This was the first time that ResCen and Create met together. The focus of the day was on artists’ processes and the ways in which they constitute a field of knowledge. Participating artists interviewed each other, to share their strategies and concerns, illuminating commonalities and differences in their work. An additional focus was the role of the audience in the creative process and how these artists conceive of their audience during the creation of their work. The day was led by Chris Bannerman, Head of ResCen, and Sarah Tuck, Director of Create.
