Forum for Music in Ireland

Dear Forum Member,

You might be interested in the following campaign for the arts which has been recently launched:

The National Campaign for the Arts is a broad and inclusive coalition that reflects the scale, reach and diversity of the arts in Ireland today.  Its membership has a national reach that includes major festivals, venues, producers and representative organisations in visual arts, theatre, film, dance, music, literature, architecture and collaborative arts. 

For further information you can check their website: http://www.ncfa.ie/

This initiative's strength lies in drawing together and unifying all the art forms under one lobbying umbrella and argues very persuasively for the importance of the arts to Irish Society. This argument must be made in light of funding cuts to the arts that have probably affected everyone involved in arts organisations.

The Campaign's website also has newspaper articles and comments from those involved in the arts and it makes for very interesting reading.

The Forum for Music in Ireland has joined the National Campaign for the Arts on behalf of its members to show support for this initiative.

Next Plenary

Watch out for details of the Forum for Music in Ireland’s next plenary, which will take place on 8th December in the Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO), Copyright House, Pembroke Row, Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2.
