CGS "REMARKABLE GLASS" EXHIBITION: CALL
European Artists are invited to submit work for a show of outstanding glass at the prestigious venue of Contemporary Applied Arts, London. This collaboration between the Contemporary Glass Society and Contemporary Applied Arts offers a unique opportunity to be part of a new European initiative.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE ARTS DELEGATION MEETS WITH MINISTER MARTIN CULLEN
A delegation from the National Campaign for the Arts (NCFA) met with Martin Cullen TD, Minister for the Arts, Sport and Tourism last week on Wednesday 25 November 2009 to discuss the impact that further cuts to arts funding would have on the sector in advance of the impending Budget 2010.
The delegation comprised of Tania Banotti of Theatre Forum, Sarah Glennie of the Irish Film Institute, Gerry Godley of the Improvised Music Company and Fiach Mac Conghail of the Abbey Theatre also called on Minister Cullen to bring the demands of the NCFA to the Cabinet. In support of the NCFA's campaign the delegation presented the Minister with a petition signed online by over 10,000 people in just two weeks. The National Campaign for the Arts is lobbying for the retention of Culture Ireland and the Irish Film Board, the maintenance of existing levels of arts funding for the Arts Council and continued full representation of the arts at senior cabinet level.
The National Campaign for the Arts is proudly supported by the Glass Society of Ireland, and the society will continue to show its support into the new year.
