Arts Council Urges Responses to Assembly Consultation

The Committee for Culture, Arts and Leisure (CAL) at Stormont, which scrutinises the work of the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL), is conducting an inquiry into ‘The Funding of the Arts in Northern Ireland'.

The Arts Council would encourage artists and arts organisations in Northern Ireland to respond. They advise that it is not necessary to respond to each of the points in the Terms of Reference; their advice is to restrict your responses to those areas in which you have relevant experience and can substantiate your observations.

Written submissions can be sent by email to committee.cal@niassembly.gov.uk or by post to: The CAL Committee Clerk, Room 424, Parliament Buildings, Belfast BT4 3XX (Tel: 028 90521 841).  Please also send a hard copy in the post if original submission is emailed.

The closing date for written submissions is Friday 27th February 2009.
