Overview of all programmes
The City Arts Office understands that people experience the arts in many ways. We create and support different ways in which the public can experience the arts and artists such as festivals, exhibitions, artists-in-residence, public talks, events and specialist programmes.
Arts, Education and Learning Policy
We have an overarching policy for this area of work. Experiential Learning is one of the strongest assets of the arts – in formal and non formal education – as artforms – music, theatre, film, dance, visual arts, circus – are rich resources for physical, intellectual and emotional engagement and therefore natural intrinsic motivators leading to analytical skills and lifelong learning.

Local Arts Programmes
Dublin City Arts Office’s strategy for developing and supporting local arts initiatives is to work in partnership and with colleagues across Dublin City Council departments in order to add value, maximize resources and support local arts initiatives, in addition to those already being undertaken.

Resources for Community Leaders & Teachers
