Minister Deenihan publicises Business to Arts initiatives

Minister Deenihan last night attended a Business to Arts event to publicise a range of programmes aiming to transform the cultural sector in Ireland.  At the event, hosted by Mason Hayes+Curran, several projects were highlighted.

This included the Fund It project (www.fundit.ie) created with support from the Cultural Technology Grant Scheme.  This is Ireland’s first ‘crowdfunded’ platform – a secure website providing project creators with the means of attracting funding for their ideas by offering unique rewards to supporters.

Details of other projects can be found by contacting Business to Arts.
