In 2005 Cork was European City of Culture. The designation brought pride and distinction to our city acknowledging our rich arts and cultural heritage and progressive, contemporary practices. We have enjoyed and built on the legacy of Cork 2005 since that landmark year, and we want to continue to distinguish Cork nationally and internationally as a city of art and culture. Specifically, we want Cork to be a city where artists can live and work; to be a base from where they can build a career,

We will marshal Cork City’s strengths as an open, compact, creative city, its designation as a UNESCO Learning City, and its highly developed arts educational infrastructure towards the achievement of this goal.
