Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Arts Council is to officially launch the Tuam Creative Places Ireland pilot programme next week - which is worth almost half a million euro. (21/1)
The three-year programme is developed for communities around the country that have not received sustained investment in the arts sector.
The project will be entirely community-lead, with locals being given the responsibility to develop a three-year programme of events and activities - using the investment of 450-thousand euro.
Tuam Creative Places Ireland will be officially launched on Tuesday evening at 6:30 at the Ard Ri House Hotel - with a special performance from local musician, Little John Nee.
