Cox calls for annual arts forum for city
GALWAY SHOULD hold an annual forum to discuss the arts in the city to meet any challenges and prepare for by future according to Sen Margaret Cox. Cox made her proposal during a discussion of The Galway City Council Arts Policy, 2002 - 2004 at Monday's city council meeting. The strategy sets out the council's policy towards the arts and how it can support and assist the development of a wide range of art forms in the city. The objective is to ensure that each art form is developed to a level which is appropriate to the needs of Galway, a d n that every section of the community has access to the arts This will influence the allocation of resources between the different art forms. It is intended that the provision of gnu aid for arts payments and actions will he linked to the achievement of the objectives in the strategy. The strategy will inform the actions undertaken by the c o u n c i l ' s arts office each year. As such the action programme for the period to the end of 2002 is focused on the development of a web page, the use of City Hall and other public buildings for art exhibitions, the establishment of writer-in-residence and dance-in-residence programmes, and support for the recently announced Galway Ensemble. The policy covers the development of public art in the city, support for visual artists in Galway through grant aid and residencies, supporting drama and theatre through continuing support of organisations like Macnas.Galwiy Youth Theatre, and the Town Hall Theatre. The strategy also pledges continuing support to music, dance, and festivals. There will also be grant aids for education and youth arts programmes, and the promotion of traditional Irish arts and the arts as Gaeilge. The council intends to work with arts agencies in Galway and the nation and with the co-ordinating group for arts aid culture in the city, in securing the achievements of the strategy's objectives. As well as calling for an annual forum. Cox also said there should be an arts page on the city council's website providing names and contact details of arts groups aid organisations in the city. The council's director of service Joe O'Neill said a forum was a good idea and could help raise the profile of the arts in the city. Cllr Tom Costello asked about a school of music for Galway. O'Neill said a number of groups have cone together to form a brief/feasibility study which should be completed by the end of the year.
