Just back from a most valuable networking reception at Europe House, hosted by the Cultural Attachés of the European Commission and the Embassy of Ireland.

Bringing together organisations and societies at work across Irish Arts and culture the evening presented an opportunity to share information about current and forthcoming projects, as well as to explore possibilities for collaboration.  Given that a good deal of isolation prevails in the Arts - which can weaken impact or waste resources - practitioners have a real need to connect and cooperate actively.  Sincere thanks to both Cultural Attachés and to Irish Heritage for bringing about this important event.
