About the organization
The Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon is the national agency for developing the arts in Ireland. Established in 1951, it operates under the Arts Act 2003 with a mandate to stimulate public interest in the arts, promote knowledge and appreciation, and support artists and arts organizations. Its founding ethos is rooted in the belief that the arts are essential to individual and communal life, and it has evolved to embrace a broad, inclusive definition of artistic practice. The Council's core mission is to advocate for the arts, provide funding and resources, and ensure that the arts thrive as a vital part of contemporary Irish society.
