Creative Ireland Kerry Colleagues,
KCC received confirmation of funds this week for the 2018 Activation Plan. Thank you to all who have undertaken CIK actions for 2018 arising from the public consultation, which informed the strategy. Accordingly, we are now proceeding with the work programme as agreed with Team Members.
For your information, the Creative Communities Awards Scheme is advertised this week, copy attached. If each Team Members can please promote through your channels and circulate as you see fit to promote community engagement with creativity across the Team areas.
This week it has been confirmed that ‘Cruinniú na nÓg’ will take place on Saturday June 23rd (this replaces Cruinniú na Cásca). The day is set nationally as a day to celebrate creativity for children. The Arts Office will coordinate the day, promotion of events and documentation of events. Can you please advise if you intend to programme an event that will engage children with Creativity on the Day? With Enterprise for example this could be scheduling a coder dojo session, craft, design etc, Libraries may wish to host storytelling etc…. It is entirely up to each Team Member if they wish to programme an activity – please revert to creativekerry@kerrycoco.ie if you have an idea you wish to progress. The aim is to offer creative events for children to participate and enjoy. I attach the list of events, some confirmed, some to be considered (Tommy I pencilled in libraries as some are already doing Storytelling and maybe this could be scheduled for the day?).
Kerry is on schedule to host its inaugural ‘Festival of Architecture’ (Led by Victoria McCarthy).
The Arts Service is working to begin the Street Spectacle project of CIK in the coming weeks.
If you have any CIK related ideas or wish to discuss any aspect of the programme for 2018, please contact me
