Take a bow!
The arts really matter to us in Ireland; they are a big part of people’s lives, the
country’s single most popular pursuit. Our artists interpret our past, define who
we are today, and imagine our future. We can all take pride in the enormous
reputation our artists have earned around the world.
The arts play a vital role in our economy, and smart investment of taxpayers’
money in the arts is repaid many times over. The dividends come in the form of
a high value, creative economy driven by a flexible, educated, innovative work
force, and in a cultural tourism industry worth €2.4 billion directly a year.
The Arts Council is the Irish Government agency for funding and developing
the arts. Arts Council funding from the taxpayer, through the Department of
Arts, Sport and Tourism, for 2010 is a69.15 million, that’s less than a1 a week
for every household.
So, at the end of your next great theatre performance, don’t forget the role
you played and take a bow yourself!
