Once again, we must make a case for the arts. We must:
lobby to maintain a full cabinet Minister for Arts
promote the role and value of the arts
campaign for continued and increased investment in the arts
advocate for the provision of appropriate social protection for artists and those who work in the arts.
Once again, we need your help. You can help in five simple ways:
1. ATTEND THE HUSTINGS
In Dublin the arts spokespersons from all 5 political parties will attend a meeting to outline their respective arts policies and answer your questions. There will be a similar format in Galway with candidates from Galway East and West constituencies invited to present their local arts policy and answer your questions.
Come along and make the arts an election issue. It's important we show politicians the arts matter!
Monday 14 February
Dublin: 10.45am - 12.15 Project Arts Centre, Temple Bar
Galway: 11.00am Radisson Blu Hotel
2. CHALLENGE AND ADVISE
Let the canvassers know that the arts are an election issue for you. Ask them about their arts policy and tell them about the value of the arts. We're preparing a crib sheet to help you.
3. REGISTER TO VOTE

4. DISPLAY OUR LOGO AND USE OUR ADS IN YOUR PROGRAMMES

There's one other key area where you can help us. And that's by donating to the NCFA. We need to raise €30,000 to work on your behalf this year. It seems like a huge amount and is a big ask in these difficult times. But, If 300 of you give us €100 each we've hit out target and we'll be able to get on with the work of securing investment in the arts. Help us to help you. Donate now.
If you would like any further information about our activities this year please contact Tania Banotti. Tania Banotti The website will be updated with all relevant information about the campaign by next week.
National Campaign For the Arts update
Date: 01 Feb 2011
The election has been called and a new government is imminent. That means new policies and new priorities - with no guarantees for funding and continued investment in the arts. Once again, we must make a case for the arts. We must:
lobby to maintain a full cabinet Minister for Arts
promote the role and value of the arts
campaign for continued and increased investment in the arts
advocate for the provision of appropriate social protection for artists and those who work in the arts.
