Community Arts Partnership welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Department of Finance’s Consultation on Business Rates.
Community Arts Partnership
Community Arts Partnership is the lead organisation in Northern Ireland in the development, support and delivery of community arts projects which the organisation combines with independent advocacy for community arts and community based art activity. Our organisation’s key emphasis is work facilitated in areas of social and economic deprivation.
CAP advocates
“pro-actively harnessing the transformative power of the creative and cultural sectors to tackle disadvantage and support a confident, creative, informed and healthy society …” And beyond that, encourages the view that the Arts should be utilised,
“..to promote social and economic equality and tackle poverty and social exclusion.”
CAP therefore advocates for and welcomes the extension of arts activities, of access and participation in the arts for the general population, but in particular for those experiencing poverty and deprivation.
