PRAXIS (The Artists Union of Ireland) members presented a petition signed by over 1,500 artists and arts workers to Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan, urging immediate action to safeguard their incomes amidst ongoing instability within the Arts Council.
The petition calls on the Minister to protect funding for artists and arts workers following a series of unresolved issues within the Arts Council, which have left the sector in a state of uncertainty. Representatives warn that without an immediate and focussed intervention, Ireland’s vibrant cultural sector, a cornerstone of the nation’s identity and economy, could face severe financial instability.
