The Creative Ireland Programme is an all-of-government initiative committed to enhancing access to, engagement with, and enjoyment of Ireland’s culture and creativity.

The Creative Ireland vision for Leitrim is to contribute to the social, cultural and economic development of the county and its creative sector by placing creativity at the centre of people’s lives. The Creative Ireland vision in Leitrim is pursued through the following five pillars:
