LOCAL PARTNERSHIP SCHEME (CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND THE ARTS STRAND)
A scheme to encourage new, local authority-led partnerships to develop innovative, collaborative arts projects in the area of Cultural Diversity and the Arts.
The Arts Council is now seeking proposals from local authority arts services for projects in the area of Cultural Diversity and the Arts, commencing in 2012. The intercultural project proposed should, through new collaborations, seek to develop work, resources or services that are ambitious, innovative and developmental. The closing date for receipt of applications to this scheme is Thursday 28th June 2012 at 5.30pm.
This scheme is intended to encourage and support partnerships and new collaborations between local authorities, arts organisations and other relevant groups or organisations at local, regional, national and international level. At least two local authorities should be involved in any application.
The Cultural Diversity and the Arts strand was introduced to this scheme in 2010 and, for 2012 it is this strand alone of the scheme that is being advertised. This is an important part of the Arts Council's Cultural Diversity strategy for 2012/3. It is intended to promote the development of intercultural capacity in the arts across local authorities. The Arts Council believes that cultural interaction enriches the arts in Irelandby offering opportunities for mutual sharing, questioning, learning, understanding and change. Further information on the Arts Council's policy and strategy in the area of Cultural Diversity can be accessed here: http://www.artscouncil.ie/en/areas-of-work/actions/arts-and-cultural-diversity.aspx

ARTS & DISABILITY AWARDS IRELAND 2012
2012 scheme opens on Wednesday 13 June 2012
Deadline: 4pm on Wednesday 15 August 2012
Managed by the Arts & Disability Forum on behalf of the two Arts Councils of this island, the Arts & Disability Awards Ireland scheme is a dedicated tool to support individual deaf or disabled artists. Through this funding, artists with disabilities have developed unique artwork of extremely high artistic quality, some progressing to a level where international recognition is won. Advice is available from the initial idea through to the submission of the application.
The scheme’s purpose is to identify, encourage and nurture individual talent amongst disabled practitioners. Individuals can apply for up to £5,000 (or the Euro equivalent).
You may think you don’t know anyone who could apply but this scheme is for all types of disabled people and all artforms. It isn’t always possible to tell who is disabled and some people feel so stigmatised that they try to hide their condition. So please help your contacts towards an opportunity by spreading the word about the Arts & Disability Awards Ireland scheme.
Grant forms can be downloaded from www.adf.ie or we can email them to you. For access reasons we prefer you to submit the form as an electronic document if possible but we can supply standard print hard copies if required.
Alternatively formatted information can also be made available, for example large print or Braille, and if you are a British Sign Language or Irish Sign language user, we can give you a dvd introduction to the scheme in BSL or ISL.
For an answer to queries, or for further information, contact Gillian Porter at the Arts & Disability Forum:

The scheme is open to artists from any of the following artform disciplines: architecture, circus, street art and spectacle, dance, film, literature (Irish and English language), music, opera, theatre, visual arts and traditional arts. The projects can take place in a diverse range of social and community contexts eg arts and health; arts in prisons; arts and older people; arts and cultural diversity. The aim of the scheme is to encourage meaningful collaboration between communities of place and/or interest and artists.
It is essential that consultation take place between the artist and the community group, so that both parties are involved in deciding on the nature of the project realisation.

PAUL DURCAN POETRY READING
The Achill Heinrich Böll Association are pleased to present a reading of poetry by Paul Durcan from his newly published collection PRAISE IN WHICH I LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE MY BEING. Readingwill take place on Saturday June 23rd at St. Thomas’s Church Dugort Achill at 8.00pm.
Tickets are available at various outlets onAchillIsland and at 086 2325516 and 0877720192.
PAUL DURCAN About the Collection:
Paul Durcan's twenty-second collection finds Monsieur le Poète on the road inParis,New YorkCity,Chicago,Brisbane, andAchillIsland, meditating upon the sanctuary of home and what it means to feel truly at home.
Regarded by many as the great poet of contemporaryIreland, Durcan is on top form here as he contemplates the fall of the Celtic Tiger, while railing against bankers and 'bonus boys'. There are poems of love lost and won, and poems in memory of friends and relatives who have passed on, but there is also joy to be found in the birth of a grandson, and there is praise, too, for the modest heroism of truckers, air traffic controllers and nurses, those 'slim, sturdy, buxom nourishers' of fallen mankind. If for Sartre 'hell is other people', for Durcan 'heaven is other people, especially women.’
‘Durcan’s copious bitter-sweet clowning is a way of telling the truth slant’
Seamus Heaney.
Paul Durcan is one ofIreland's foremost poets. He was born inDublinin 1944. His first book, Endsville (1967), has been followed by more than twenty others, including The Berlin Wall Café (a Poetry Book Society Choice in 1985), Daddy, Daddy (winner of the Whitbread Award for Poetry in 1990), A Snail in My Prime: New and Selected Poems (1993), Cries of an Irish Caveman: New Poems (2001), The Art of Life (2004) and The Laughter of Mothers (2008). In 2009 he published a selection of his work from the previous forty years in one volume, Life is a Dream. In 2001 Paul Durcan received a Cholmondeley Award. He was theIrelandProfessor of Poetry 2004-2007. In 2009 he was conferred with an honorary degree byTrinityCollege,Dublin. He is a member of Aosdána.
