The Cultural Sector in Meath is a vibrant one, encompassing a broad range of people, places, and activities. Artists and creatives of many disciplines live and work in Meath and, together with professional arts organisations and amateur and community groups engaged in cultural activity, there is a considerable pool of creative talent and enterprise in the county.

Building on the success of programmes such as Kells Creative Placemaking, Solstice Diversity Programme, Writer-in-Residence Programme, Clayton Woollen Mills Project, Cruinniú na nÓg, and new awards such as the Máire Mhac an tSaoí Gradam Fhílíocht na Gaeilge and the Community Heritage Programmes, we now look forward to developing even more exciting projects in partnership with communities and stakeholders in the years ahead.

Through our expanding Culture and Creativity Team, and with added expertise from across the organisation, we look forward to leading and engaging with our Culture and Creativity Strategy over the next five years. In particular, we look forward to working with the Creative Ireland Programme in animating our new cultural infrastructure e.g., Bettystown Library and Community Facility, Trim Library and Cultural Centre, Meath County Archive, Kells Printing Works, and the Courthouse Cultural Hub.
