About Us
Creative Ireland is a national Programme administered locally, which connects people, creativity, and wellbeing.
Established in 2017, Creative Ireland was born out of Ireland 2016, the hugely successful state initiative to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising. The programme drew inspiration from the extraordinary public response to the Centenary and the thousands of largely culture-based events exploring issues of identity, community, culture, heritage, and citizenship led by Local Authorities across the Country.
Through partnerships with local and national government, cultural and enterprise agencies and local enterprise, Donegal County Council enabled by the Creative Ireland Programme create pathways and opportunities for people and communities to unlock their creative potential.
