The Arts Service of Waterford City & County Council is preparing a new Arts Plan for Waterford. To give the general public, artists and arts organisations the opportunity to contribute their voice to this Plan, we held a series of in person meetings in each of Waterford’s electoral areas during February 2025.
Now on this Consult Platform, we invite you to take part in this questionnaire which mirrors the engagement at the consultation meetings and general themes which emerged. The Arts Office has operated under five pillars for recent years and they form the basis of our consultation around :
- Supporting Artists
- Young People and the Arts
- Supporting and Promoting Excellence
- Public Engagement
- Fostering and Supporting Innovation
Even if you have already attended one of our meetings, you are welcome to add to what you said or didn’t get a chance to express. If you are an Arts Organisation and wish to make a specific submission, please add to it the final section as a word or pdf document. If this is your first chance to respond to us, we appreciate your input to assist us with the direction, goals and priorities to guide this work.
