#cultureconnects cultureireland.ie/eu2013 eu2013.ie © Eithne Jordan: Brewery – The Future II 2010 (Rubicon Gallery Perfect) Welcome | Fáilte Cuireann sé an-áthas orm an clár seo a chur i láthair ar ócáid ár uachtaránacht an AE. Culture Connects is a wide and varied programme which involves the engagement of Irish artists in Europe and beyond and European artists in Ireland. It is a key element in Ireland’s plans to celebrate our Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first six months of 2013, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of Ireland’s membership of the European Union. For many centuries Ireland has had strong historic cultural connections to Europe and our Presidency offers an opportunity to celebrate and build on those connections. Jimmy Deenihan, TD Minister for Arts, Heritage There is a great diversity in the culture of the Member and the Gaeltacht States of the EU but there is also a common thread which runs through our culture and which allows us to understand each other and to work closely together to achieve our wider aims. Through the many events planned by Culture Ireland and our Embassies and Consulates across all Member States, Irish artists will present and highlight the unique quality of Irish culture. It is a culture of which we are proud and which has gained us an international reputation for excellence. This programme includes many high profile artists from Samuel Beckett, Francis Bacon and Eileen Gray to Anne Enright, Sean Scully and Altan. Irish artists will present work in all Member States, with a special focus on Brussels, Paris and Berlin. ©

Avant Ireland: Magharoarty Beach The Culture Connects international programme has been strengthened owing to the work of the Embassy Network and Culture Ireland, which for close to a decade has been fostering partnerships between Irish and European artists and developing further connections with European presenters and venues. Irish artists have become increasingly involved in working collaboratively with their European counterparts and we value and wish to extend this engagement within Europe. Through Culture Connects the Irish Government hopes that we will deepen our relationships with our European partners, engage with new audiences and increase our mutual understanding. I wish every success to the artists and presenters involved in this programme and hope that the audiences will enjoy the many events on offer and will be inspired to further encounter the richness of Irish creativity. Ní neart go cur le chéile. Bain taitneamh agus beir bua.
