Earlier in the year the Arts Council of Northern Ireland shared their plans for a dedicated Community Arts Strategy for 2013 to 2017.  The Community Arts Strategy will specifically target the work of the core community arts organisations and seeks to influence the activities of community and voluntary organisations that engage community arts practice.

The Arts Council of Northern Ireland would like to offer organisations another chance to support this process by completing an online survey which can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GTRS23B.  The survey will take no more than 15 minutes to complete and your support would be very much appreciated.  The survey will close on  31 August.

The strategy will define the direction of the Council’s community orientated work for this period and is relevant to all organisations who run participation based work with communities, regardless of the context. The data from the surveys will feed into the development of the Community Arts Strategy that will run from 2013 to 2017.

CAP will publish any further news and development throughout the process.
