Making the Public Case for the Arts- join local facebook groups
Submitted by heather on Thu, 09 Jul 09
During presentations on Making the Public Case for the Arts, a plan was developed to create Facebook constituency groups.
"This means that when the time comes we will be able to demonstrate to councilors and TDs just how many arts workers live and vote in every constituency in Ireland. This is the first time something like this has been attempted.
There are currently 32 constituency Facebook groups as follows:
Remember to join the group where you live and vote (this might be different to where you work) - if you are not on Facebook and wish to join you can email theatreforum@ireland.com and give your name, email and constituency."
