Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council's first major percent for art programme

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to announce its first major Per Cent for Art Commission in the context of its Arts Strategy 2007-2010. Focusing on themes of place and identity, the commission is a county wide public arts programme across all art forms: Architecture, Circus, Dance, Film, Literature, Multidisciplinary Arts, Theatre, Traditional Arts, Visual Arts, and Collaborative Arts.

In pooling funding from Environment and Housing capital projects under the Per Cent for Art scheme, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has in excess of €500 000 available for the public arts programme. Place and Identity is the County's first major round of commissions and comprises two distinct strands: six artists' residencies and two once-off projects taking place between May 2008 and January 2010.

Place and Identity pushes boundaries in Per Cent for Art programming by advocating the commission to all art forms recognised by the Arts Council of Ireland. Artists and arts practitioners are asked to engage with and seek inspiration from the County - its people, place and identity - in ways that are meaningful to the artists and the citizens.
