CityArts

CityArts has a thirty five year history of producing and presenting work made with, for and by communities in Dublin, Ireland.
In late 2009, CityArts will move into an historic house at 15 Bachelor's Walk which will offer a new context for engaging with diverse publics; creating a hub of radical thinking, cultural exchange, practice, learning and discourse in the field of collaborative arts and youth arts. CityArts will act as a thoroughfare, connecting Dublin communities, artists and the international field of collaborative arts practice.
The new CityArts premises will house the specialist archive and library, which charts the history of the organisation, and by that extension, the community arts movement in Ireland from the 1970's onwards.

Dublin City Council
The Lab, Foley Street, Dublin 1 T. 01-2225455
The Arts Office has restructured with five new assistant arts officers employed, each with responsibility for the 5 electoral areas of the city. There is great potential to support stronger regional approaches to youth arts development, either as a complement to or a partnership with Young Urban Arts.
DCC has formal and informal relationships with many of the city's arts and educational organisation/institutions. At its most basic this is realised through straight-forward grant aid; sometimes through sponsorship of programmes; provision of space and occasionally through shared programme/research conception and delivery. These sets of relationships may help support Young Urban Arts.
