Vision• We believe that the arts are an absolute necessity for a healthy
society. A flourishing cultural environment fosters imagination, creativity and pride. NCFA claims the value of the contemporary and challenging as well as the classic and traditional.
• We believe that a culturally rich life should be accessible to all.
• NCFA is for all the people of Ireland who, through their taxes and patronage, support and value the arts.
• NCFA is for audiences, from children to aficionados, who enjoy the arts in all its forms.
• NCFA is for all those who believe in this vision, particularly artists and arts organisations.
How we achieve our vision
• Advocacy and lobbying national/local and political/public
• Researchproviding fact-based evidence to support our case
• Campaigning fighting to maintain and grow investment in the arts and culture
• Get the arts solidly on the political agenda
• Equip politicians and other stakeholders to engage fully in the culture agenda
• Establish a new model for governance for the arts across all levels of society – (e.g. write and publish a white paper)
• Lobby for the development of a National Cultural
Plan
• Alter for the better, public perception of the importance, place and value of the arts - in partnership with the Arts Council
• Advocate for the provision of a culturally complete life
for children
Long-term goals
• Put in place an appropriate structure
• Raise €300k over the next three years
• Lobby and campaign to maintain current levels of funding for the arts through the Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht and local authorities
