We were honored to have The Irish Times and Enda O’Dowd attend our Connecting Artists and Collective Impact Launch and Exhibition and capture the stories of the incredible artists in the CAC Artists Collective.
On 26 May, we celebrated three significant milestones in our journey, five years of the Connecting Artists programme, the launch of our Impact Report and showcase, and the reopening of our newly refurbished arts centre in Rathgar.
With more than 100 people gathered together in support of artists, creativity, and community, with artist Alan Tarpey opening the event. Minister Jerry Buttimer spoke at the event and Broadcaster Miriam O'Callaghan hosted an artist speaking panel. It was a meaningful celebration of how far the organisation and the artists have come and the impact that has been made possible through the support of our wider community.
We are deeply proud of what has been built through Connecting Artists, the Artists Collective, and the wider CAC community; creating opportunities, reducing isolation, supporting artistic careers, and making the arts more accessible and inclusive.
