Arts & Events _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Creative Ireland Only two out of fourteen Creative Ireland projects will need to be deferred to 2021. This year’s underspend will facilitate an opportunity to nominate a young person to represent Cork City as part of a nationwide audio series by RTÉ initiated by Creative Ireland and also to explore professional development supports for creative contributors (and potential contributors).
Other projects are being adapted for delivery on schedule or simply postponed until later in the year.
Cruinni ú na n Ó g will take place on the 13 th June, largely as an online event. Cork City’s programme is now available to view on the national website. Despite the shorter timeframe and COVID 19 restrictions, we received more submissions than usual which is an testament to the creative problem -solving capabilities of our cultural producers and the Trojan work of our coordinator, Eimear O’Brien. A decrease in in -person activities resulted in a surplus of our Cruinniú na nÓg budget which was channelled into the Lord Mayor’s Creative Call for Children in Cork City. This call invites creative representations of life in the time of coronavirus from the perspective of Under 18 year olds.
