The aim of Iontas is to provide, promote and foster the vision and the space for initiative and innovation in personal and community development, and this happens through all kinds of educational, creative and artistic endeavours.
From 2018, Creative Monaghan programme has supported a very innovative and ambitious inter-disciplinary project to foster cultural and creative engagement in the community. The project from the start had a very clear community focus, not only to heighten awareness and appreciation among local people of the remarkable photographic legacy of JJ Clarke, but in the contemporary methodologies for community engagement through participatory processes.
