The Council supports development of the arts at a local level and strives to provide opportunities for all who live in, work in and visit the County to engage with the arts at different levels. The South Dublin County Arts Development Strategy (2022-2026) provides for the development of an arts service that is inclusive, accessible and sustainable for the County’s communities. The South Dublin County Cultural and Creativity Strategy (2018-2022) is a collaboration across the arts, heritage and creative industries to enhance community participation and provide support for artists and creatives. New initiatives will be developed and introduced to strengthen the existing programmes and to bolster the pivotal role of the arts and culture infrastructure within the County. Public art enriches the character of the built environment and public realm in a creative and innovative way. It also contributes to the distinctiveness of an area and promotes a sense of identity that can help with the integration of diverse communities in both existing and new neighbourhoods. The Council will encourage and support proposals for the creation and installation of public art in suitable and accessible public places. Large developments will be required to provide a piece of public art or sculpture or architectural feature designed in consultation with the Council. The Council will support the ‘Per Cent for Art’ scheme, a long-standing government initiative whereby 1% of the cost of any publicly funded capital, infrastructural and building development can be allocated to the commissioning of a work of art.
