Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion (20%)
Dublin City Council through all of its programmes wants to engage with all of the residents and visitors to Dublin. We know that some may feel excluded for physical, cultural, economic, racial, gender or other reasons and as a Local Authority we want to address this exclusion and celebrate the diversity of Dublin.
As an applicant for an Arts Grant, please let us know how you address diversity whether by including and encouraging diverse practitioners or participants in your programme or through catering to diverse audiences. The main evidence for your understanding of diversity, accessibility and inclusion will be evidenced by:
(a) Policy and policy documents.
(b) Specific marketing to diverse audiences.
(c) Collaboration and inclusion of diverse practitioners and artists.
(d) Partnership with organisations that increase your knowledge and skills in the area of Diversity.
As diversity is a developing area for the Arts and for Arts Grants it is not expected that you would be equally proficient in all areas but that you are aware of the importance of diversity, accessibility and inclusion and are taking concrete steps to continually learn and increase your ability.
