Executive Summary
The intention of this evaluation is to give feedback to field:arts on their creative production supports and their impacts. field:arts intentionally took a fluid approach to the defining of what a creative producing service could be and so capturing its impact and what has worked and what could be improved will be advantageous to the organisation going forward. The hope is that this will inform future iterations and
a continuation of creative production supports, as an integral support structure for independent arts practitioners in Ireland. The following can be read as feedback on the two year pilot (2020-2022) of field:arts. – extract from the report by Aisling Murray
