Read Connect Create Change

Create publishes this strategy, Connect Create Change; Leading Collaborative Arts in Ireland at a time of significant global change and in the firm belief that by working together, artists and communities can purposefully explore how collaborative arts engage in distinct, relevant and powerful ways with the urgent social, cultural and political issues of our times.

This strategy provides a framework to support the ecology, resources and relationships that will develop discourse, policy and next practice from 2020 to 2025. Our five strategic goals are designed to increase the reach of collaborative arts, enhance its value and ensure its ongoing sustainability. Our actions will create key focal points for the sector over the coming years.

Create’s work is rooted in the principles of developmental support for the field of practice. We act as an experienced guide, a strategic advisor, a trusted broker and a respected advocate. Our aim is to cultivate an environment in which collaborative artists and the communities they work with are able to realise their shared creative ambitions.

This Strategy was developed through an extensive consultation and co-design process with artists, communities, funders, and other stakeholders, as well as our trustees and the indefatigable staff team in Create, facilitated independently by Dr. Jane Morrow, who we are incredibly indebted to for her care, diligence and good spirit. Create would like to express our deep gratitude to all those who so generously contributed their time, their thinking and their ambition for the future to this process.
