Arts & Culture - Tailored Cover, Specialist Expertise
Dublin, Fishamble Street, 13th April 1742, George Frideric Handel’s first public performance of his masterpiece The Messiah took place to an audience of around 700, the ladies present asked to refrain from wearing hoops in their dresses to allow for more space in the room. It was the artistic and cultural event of the year.

Culture 2025 – The Government Perspective
The Department of Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht published its framework document “Culture 2025” wherein they set out their overarching vision and framework.
“It is a governing principle of Culture 2025 that everyone has the right to participate in the cultural and creative life of the nation”
A healthy cultural and creative life is important for both the individual and for society. Participation in cultural activities can enrich our lives. Providing opportunities for wider and richer cultural and creative participation can also contribute to community cohesion and reduce social exclusion and isolation, leading to more resilient and sustainable communities.
Culture 2025 speaks of Ireland’s culture in all its distinctiveness and variety as the well-spring of our identity as a people. It captures our past, shapes our present, and imagines our future. Our culture is proudly ancient and confidently modern.
Three fundamental principles govern Culture 2025:
- Recognising the value of culture and creativity to the individual and society
- Supporting creative practice and cultural participation
- Cherishing our cultural heritage
