DLR
Place and Identity 2008-2010 - Call to Artists
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.
