“To mark our 60th anniversary, the Arts Council is publishing stories about the arts using documents from our archive. Beginning with 14 stories from the early years of the Arts Council, (1950s) this site aims to show the intricate connections that existed and continue to exist between the artists, the organisations that supported them, the public they served and engaged with and their relationships with the contemporary arts.”
The Irish PEN Committee was notified of the Irish Arts Council Project
recently, and wishes to extend our congratulations to the
Irish Arts Council/ an Comhairle Ealaíon on the occasion of their
60th anniversary.
The archives are grouped into decades for access to minutes, discussions and decisions by the Arts Council,
