The Arts Council of Ireland is the Irish government agency for developing the arts. We work in partnership with artists, arts organisations, public policy makers and others to build a central place for the arts in Irish life.
In the about us section you can find information on the role and core functions of the Arts Council, as well as a copy of Developing the Arts in Ireland: Arts Council strategic overview 2011-2013 (PDF, 0.22MB), which outlines the Council’s strategic direction over the 2011-2013 period. You can also find out about current vacancies, open tenders and subscribe to the Arts Council newsletter.
