Martin ShannonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, I mean, the thing is what we're going to do, our ambition is to try and find an independent sponsor so that we don't have to rely on local authority funding.
Martin ShannonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What's going to affect us in our Arts Council funding for next year, our national funding, is the fact that we're not delivering a parade this year.
Martin ShannonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And it may affect our award from the Arts Council going forward.
Martin ShannonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It takes a lot of work to actually put this together.
Martin ShannonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We have nine years of things that we have here in the space.
speaker_2HOST
including the selection of festivals and events that align with the objectives of the scheme.
speaker_2HOST
That's from Falter Ireland.

The Arts Council said, in response to your query below, we do not discuss the details of our funding relationships with individual organisations.
Emma RichardsonGUEST
So I signed up with Terps Art School, which was a revelation, and I got assigned a couple of different mentors over a few years, and they helped me so much with just really getting down to the kind of – the technical side, but also the, you know, the ideas and the kind of themes and the context of my work.
Emma RichardsonGUEST
So, yeah, that was a revelation and applied for Arts Council funding to help with that.
Emma RichardsonGUEST
And then, yeah, it was a moment of change and it made me think about doing it full time as a possibility for the first time.
Emma RichardsonGUEST
And so I made the really tricky decision of leaving, which was really tough, to sort of stop and be like, I need to try this now, if not now, when.
Jim CulletonGUEST
We were told that the Stadtheater Mainz is a mid-scale state theatre, so their funding is just 38 million euro per year.
Jim CulletonGUEST
Despite recent improvements in funding for the arts in Ireland, this allocation to one theatre is still more than a quarter of Ireland's entire annual Arts Council budget to cover every art form throughout the country.
Jim CulletonGUEST
In Germany, they don't use the terms upstage or downstage, denoting the back or front of the stage.
Jim CulletonGUEST
Stage right and stage left are also used differently.
Becky Ní ÉallaitheGUEST
Uh, lion's, uh, the harpist and concertina player is usually with us, but she'll be at the ploughing as well, I think, during the week.
Becky Ní ÉallaitheGUEST
Uh, but we're here performing on the Arts Council stage, uh, today.
Oliver CallanHOST
Very good.
Becky Ní ÉallaitheGUEST
So we're delighted to be here.
Rebecca OmordiaGUEST
And it was very powerful because people that maybe, uh, until then would have not paid notice to the work that we're doing, they finally understood the importance of the work of the African Concert Series.
Rebecca OmordiaGUEST
And the next year I applied for funding and, uh, the Arts Council, uh, 2021 awarded, uh, the African Concert Series the very first grant.
Rebecca OmordiaGUEST
Uh, that was also the time when Wigmore Hall, uh, director John Gilhooly approached me because he'd learned about the work that was in the African Concert Series since we were reaching, we were reaching audience.
Rebecca OmordiaGUEST
I think our series even reached a million people.
Nathaniel SpainGUEST
But I think because independent publishers are smaller, they do have flexibility that a big publisher might not have.
Nathaniel SpainGUEST
you do find that independent publishers are more, not always, but often willing to take slightly more daring creative risks because there is less financial pressure to meet the needs of the market if they are, for instance, small presses where they are created with a very particular vision or where they're not too fussed about being commercially successful anyway or where they've got external funding that takes some of the pressure off, like Arts Council funding.
Nathaniel SpainGUEST
And you do find... that because of this it's quite common for big names and public big name authors to get their start with independent presses where they're accepted for the kind of the work that they want to do that might not have otherwise found a home in a bigger publisher and then later on down their career they're able to get taken up by a big publisher and have their career take off and obviously there's questions about that in terms of is that fair But it often is challenging for independent publishers to meet the demands of, if they do have a hit and a book takes off and they're suddenly finding they're going to have to print loads and loads more copies because of the demands there, that creates so much more financial uncertainty for a small publisher because they're like, oh, if the sort of 10,000 I've printed don't sell, I'm in real trouble.
Megan DawsonHOST
And I'm keeping like boxes and boxes of books in an office this big.
Si BeckwithGUEST
Stand-up opened so many doors for me.
Si BeckwithGUEST
I wouldn't have got Arts Council funding as a writer.
Si BeckwithGUEST
All of that's come off the back of just being able to stand up in a pub and talk in front of people.
LukeHOST
Pull it by him further.
Adam ZnaidiGUEST
Um, um, and so yeah, I, I thought, "Okay, well let's give this a try." Um, managed to, uh, like pull a group together.
Adam ZnaidiGUEST
I got a bit of funding for it from the Arts Council in like 2019.
Adam ZnaidiGUEST
Uh, tried to do it in 2020, and then the thing happened, which we won't talk about.
Adam ZnaidiGUEST
Um-
Tom AskeyGUEST
I think one of the things we found through the process is there's a way to go about public art and engaging with the community is really, really important.
Tom AskeyGUEST
So the next project that the Legacy Fund has funded with a little bit of money is working with Broad Ripple Village Association, the Art Council, and Penrod's volunteer – because we're good at volunteering people – Penrod's volunteering people to inventory all of the art right now in Broad Ripple.
Tom AskeyGUEST
And so if you go to the farmer's market, we've inventoried I think 95% of all the public art that exists in Broad Ripple with the idea being, okay, how can we identify six or seven other spots for public art in Broad Ripple? And the cool part about this whole thing is it's scalable.
Tom AskeyGUEST
There's five other art districts that exist in Indianapolis.
Neil GodboutHOST
And our recipients this year, a package deal, and we'll have them on in about 20 minutes, Anne Laughlin and Ted Price, certainly no strangers to the arts and cultural community and the theater community here in Prince George, and so deserving of that recognition.
Neil GodboutHOST
But first up, we have Shelby Richardson from the Arts Council.
Neil GodboutHOST
The Community Arts Council of Prince George and District is the other Lifetime Achievement Award for so many accomplishments.
Neil GodboutHOST
The Chamber thought we'd really focus this year on recognizing the arts and culture sector, and the Arts Council just immediately came up as the number one choice to recognize.
Neil GodboutHOST
With a Lifetime Achievement Award, that means you don't have to pay membership dues anymore.
Shelby RichardsonGUEST
Oh, wow.
Neil GodboutHOST
So that's part of the perk of being recognized as a Lifetime Achievement Award winner.
Neil GodboutHOST
Okay.
