Your County Council is thinking about arts and culture, what we would like to achieve with Wexford communities, the activities and infrastructure we’d love to develop in the five years from 2023-2027.
We’d love to get your input and invite you to talk to us about what you believe should be included.
Wexford has two strategies that help support our work with communities, artists, arts, culture and creativity – the County Wexford Arts Plan and the Wexford Culture & Creativity Strategy. We believe that implementing these plans over the last few years helped grow confidence in connecting many communities in county Wexford to more arts and cultural activities. These plans fostered more creative collaborations and supported more artists as well as local communities to engage in creative activity. In addition, they achieved positive outcomes in many key areas such as placemaking, wellbeing, the creative industries, film and heritage programmes.
As part of our work to develop a new Wexford Arts Plan as well as a new Culture & Creativity Strategy, we are considering arts and creativity’s role in everything ; from community, youth, artists’ development, the creative industries, to heritage, wellbeing, ageing, economic development, placemaking, climate change and the environment.
We invite you to attend one of our upcoming Focus Groups in person in September.
There will be general as well as focused discussion at each Focus Group, so feel free to attend the one closest, most convenient or most relevant to your area of interest.
All venues are wheelchair accessible. Refreshments will be provided.

This focus group considers how we can activate more opportunities in the creative industries, film, craft, heritage sector, and all fields working in the culture and the creative economy in Wexford.
