For Migrant, Experimental & Emerging Artists
What we are passionate about
Sustainability in the Cultural & Creative Sector
We feel that a sustainable cultural and creative sector produces more good news stories, which in turn leads to increased engagement, greater public awareness of their importance and greater public funding. One of the ways we can achieve this is through education of creatives, professionals and organisations.
Innovation in the Cultural & Creative Sector
At CFCP we are always looking at innovative ways technology can improve the lives of Creatives and the Cultural & Creative sector. Our first project is a new an innovative online platform, ArtConnected, which will make collaboration, engagement and discovery a lot easier and enhance creative practices.
Leading Intercultural Creative Practices
The Centre for Creative Practices (CFCP) is the first intercultural Creative Organisation in Ireland and in Europe leading and shaping culturally diverse arts practice. CFCP is dedicated to integrating, promoting and mentoring migrant and local niche creatives. We also have access to and engage with a diverse range of minority ethnic and cultural communities.
Advocacy & Research
At CFCP we provide research backed data to help discover what a sustainable Cultural and Creative Sector needs. The only way that we can advocate for change is to find out about the needs of all working in the CCI sector and make sure that the findings are put into practice.

This video was produced for RTÉ and was broadcast as part of their series highlighting organisations that received funding from the state, in our case the Arts Council of Ireland. We think it gives a clear idea of the work we do, and why it is important.
