What is the vision of Creative Ireland in Galway City?
The Culture and Creativity Strategy vision is to design, drive and deliver a strategy that transforms Galway into a working model of cultural sustainability, community participation, best practice and world class cultural and creative experiences. Connecting artists and other creators to communities is also regarded as essential to realising the vision.
