An Invitation to discuss the Department for Communities’ 2025/26 Budget Allocations

Arts Matter NI last got together to discuss the draft PfG which had no explicit mention of direct investment or initiatives to support the Culture, Arts, and Heritage sector.

The Department for Communities has organised a consultation on 2025/26 Budget Allocations and there are a number of areas and issues requiring discussion.

Arts Matter NI would like to invite representatives of organisations, arts facilitators, and artists to a meeting to discuss a response to this consultation.

Given the time of year, the closing date is August 7th, we are suggesting hosting two meetings, conducted via ZOOM, taking place on Friday 25th July and Friday 1st August, starting at 10am and concluding around 11.30/12 noon. Join the discussion

  • 25th July & Friday 1st August
  • starting at 10am (concluding around 11.30/12 noon)
  • on ZOOM
