CREATIVE SPARK NETWORKS

Grow Remote

Grow Remote was built by many hands since those first meetups in 2018. That’s what we mean when we talk about our Meitheal.
In 2019, we raised government funding so that we could dedicate a full-time team to continuing the good work of our grassroots community.


AAEX

AAEX (Art as Exchange) is an open, all-inclusive group of visual artists, facilitated and supported by Creative Spark in Dundalk, coming together for the sake of making public art that is accessible, experiential, participative and/or free. In return, participating artists and their practice will grow and develop through a mutually respectful and fair exchange of information, ideas and knowledge.


CEAI

CEAI is a key stakeholder across the National Hub Network, is an active and regular contributor to government policy discussions, and is the respected Expert Voice for the community enterprise sector and the wider enterprise hub network across Ireland .


Design & Crafts Council Ireland

Design & Crafts Council Ireland is the national agency for craft and design in Ireland, we support designers and makers to develop their businesses in a sustainable way, and advocate for the societal benefits of craft and design. 


Louth Craft Mark

Creative Spark, centre for creativity and innovation, launched in October 2012 with the goal of providing dedicated creative training and workspace facilities for new and established enterprises in County Louth – a place to work and a place to learn.


Visual Artists Ireland

Visual Artists Ireland is the Representative body for professional visual artists in Ireland. VAI research has identified: Isolation; a Need for Support; and a Need for Information as the three primary areas of concern for visual artists.


Networking

The Wheel is Ireland’s national association of charities, community groups and social enterprises. As a representative voice, we provide leadership to the charity and community sector and we advocate on behalf of our growing community of members. As a supportive resource, we offer advice, training and other opportunities to people working or volunteering in the charity and community sector.


Business to Arts 

We help make art happen through Arts Funds and bursaries, and support investment in arts and culture in a number of ways. Our team has significant experience in developing and delivering on cultural strategy, and leading cultural strategy programmes.
