Tipperary County Council is developing its second Strategic Arts Plan 2023-2027.
The plan will be framed within the context of national arts policy as set out in the 2003 Arts Act Sections 6 (1) and 6 (2) Irish Statute Book and the Arts Council’s Strategy ‘Making Great Art Work’ 2016-2025 www.artscouncil.ie
The contribution of artists (in all art forms and practices), arts practitioners, arts venues, festivals, organisations and interested parties is being sought in order to fully inform the preparation of the Arts Strategy. This will assist Tipperary County Council in planning and delivering targeted arts and cultural services in the county in the period 2023-2027.

The closing date for completion of the questionnaire is Sunday 2 October 2022.Please take a few minutes to provide us with some feedback on how we can make Tipperary a more creative county.
