Theme: Regions and Arts Centres

Getting what we deserve
How do we think about regions and arts centres, their role and their history? CIRCA asked Damien Coyle to oversee a series of contributions on that topic. Here he sets the scene.

Access all areas
At times it can be hard to remember, but the landscape for the visual arts and the arts in general has been transformed over the last thirty years or so, mostly for the better. Here Colm Ó Briain traces the winding route.

Bridge over troubled water
Troubled times may have set an unruly background to arts funding in Northern Ireland over the past decades, but so too have an official attitudes. Brian Ferran sketches the history, problems and possibilities.

Round and round
Arts organisations need money, and they rarely get what they need. Liz Donnan describes the experience of one of Northern Ireland's better-known arts centres in its search for the elusive lucre.

New critical centres for art in Ireland
What should an arts centre be? Ian Hunter suggests that there are many ways to skin a cat.

Vox pop
A range of opinions on the roles of arts centres, by:

Tanya Greenfield
Vivien Burnside
Una Walker
Kathy Herbert
Jean Brennan

Fitting it in
We all are acquainted with the phenomenon: arts centres where the other arts are primary and the visual arts must find a niche. Patricia McBride, who runs such a space in Donegal, describes how things work there.

Feature

The best of spaces, the worst of spaces
Gemma Tipton continues her analysis of the architecture of art spaces.
