Arts for All COVID 19 Response

A partnership response with Cork City Council, H.S.E., Cork City P.P.N. and Arts for All

Due to the current situation with the COVID 19 virus we are working to coordinate and collate efforts from the arts community to support people 1) through this period of isolation, 2) with you and your families wellbeing and 3) with your creative development through and with our arts community. We want to support you to stay well at home and do our part in helping our frontline health care workers on the frontline. #FlattenTheCurve We plan to do this through a range of activities, workshops, performances and sharings to support our community, safely & remotely whilst maximising our creative connection. We will promote and have links to events, workshops and classes on our Events Calander. Artists of all genres, and Arts organisations want to play their part in responding to the current COVID 19 crisis. Arts for All are responding to this crisis by coordinating a response in an effort to support people through this isolating and challenging time and partnering with key stakeholders to achieve this. We want you to help us, engage with us and create with us.

Arts for All Charter

The Arts for all Charter is a public commitment to diversity and inclusion. By signing this charter arts organisations and cultural institutes will commit to building on their inclusion and diversity strategy, opening doors, making venues and spaces accessible in every way and celebrating all that our diverse community has to offer in terms of creativity and culture. The charter was designed after multiple public consultations, where people came together and shared their stories, ideas, their frustrations and their insights. We hope we have captured our conversations, but this is a dynamic process and we are open to hearing more, talking more and discovering more!

Arts for All Mapping

Arts for All Mapping is a process by which we will map existing inclusive arts practice. It will result in the creation of a dynamic resource that will map inclusive arts practice. The resourse will be contemporaneous, live and meaningful and will support connetivity & accessibility whilst amplifying the ongoing work in the arts and cultural sector.
