Latest News 13th March 2008 The impact the arts and artists from Northern Ireland have made on the world stage far exceeds what might be expected from a small country with a small population. Artists such as rock legend Van Morrison, movie star Liam Neeson, Barry Douglas (Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition), Seamus Heaney (Nobel Prize for Literature) and celebrated flautist Sir James Galway, have helped to draw the attention of the world to the creative resources that Northern Ireland can draw on. In the pages of Imprint you will find a brief introduction to these artists and arts we make in Northern Ireland. Besides these well established names, Export tells the story of a younger and emerging talent; our international artists of the not too distant future. Between the two publications we aim to give you an overview of the wealth of creative talent in our small region, and a sense of the pride and respect we hold for our artists. To find out about international funding sources for the arts visit the ArtsInfodesk.com website.
