Outcomes
1
Ensure a variety of opportunities to engage with arts and culture that cross traditional and new art forms, prioritise quality of experience and expression and which have a broad and discrete appeal.
A rich mix of arts and cultural events and experiences are driving strong public engagement.
Goal
We have encouraged and enabled more people across all our communities to access and enjoy art
2
Partner with city stakeholders including arts and culture, education, health and community services to remove barriers to arts and cultural participation.
A broader diversity of people in a greater variety of contexts are experiencing art in their lives.

Constituent groups in our city are engaged in arts and cultural experiences that are by, of and for them.
Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits. Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
4
Promote increased diversity in Cork City’s arts and cultural workforce, including artists and other arts professionals.
The people who make, produce and govern arts and culture in Cork reflect the city demographic.
Why this goal?
We will work to ensure that those who make, attend, participate in, produce and govern the arts in Cork reflect who we are today, and that art made and presented in Cork gives expression to all voices, cultures and experiences. We will do so taking care to support arts and culture activity and engagement across our extended city.
The freedom to participate in the cultural life of your community and to enjoy the arts is a human right. Art for Everyone recognises this. We call it out here as a strategic priority, as a focus of our work. Art for everyone is also a principle driving all that we do. In that regard we are proud to be a signatory to Cork’s ‘Arts for All’* Charter and we look forward to advancing the Charter’s vision for ‘a city which is open, accessible and intentionally inclusive in the arts and which celebrates diversity as a cornerstone of creativity’ over the coming years.
5
Attend to the cultural capacity and evolving needs of the city, and in particular Cork’s new neighbourhoods, towns and communities.

* ‘Arts for All’ is a Cork-based alliance of individuals, groups and organisations who are committed to inclusion, diversity and equality in the arts.
