The Creative Places Programme is an initiative of The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíonn. It is a grant based opportunity for places that have historically had low levels of arts investment to build local arts programmes with local people and artists, who can benefit from this sustained strategic investment. There are now 19 locations in Ireland that have received Creative Places investment. The programmes reach into the community to explore, discuss and plan a range of brilliant creative and participatory projects for local people to take part in and enjoy. Creative Places initiatives are also supporting artists to develop their socially engaged practice and engagement abilities. The approach is inclusive and diverse and rooted in socially engaged arts practice and community development principles. In Baltinglass the Creative Places project builds on existing cultural strengths and is led by community participation and ideas and supported by artists. The Arts Council-led programme is underpinned by commitments in its Making Great Art Work 2016–2025 strategy and in the Place, Space and People Spatial Strategy.
