Developed by The Arts Council in Ireland, 'Creative Places' provides long-term funding to enable places to shape programmes of arts activity rooted in socially engaged arts practice.

Programmes have been run in 19 locations across the Republic of Ireland, with impressive results. Including in Edenderry, where Creative Lives is the lead partner.

This report, published in August 2025, captures the many achievements of the Creative Places programme so far, and gives recommendations for the future.
