New hub for CoC creativity

Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín revealed the plans when asked for an update on her Department’s work to establish a digital platform to promote creativity with the company.

She explained how www.creativityni.org was launched by the Culture Company in partnership with Culture NI in March 2012 to profile events and activities promoting creativity.

The resource has already been used to launch the competition to design the official mascot for Londonderry City of Culture 2013 and is set to be further developed in the coming months.

“It will be further developed by autumn 2012 to include digital content and videos profiling innovative initiatives undertaken by DCAL Arm-length Bodies and other organisations.

“In addition to facilitating networking opportunities, the resource will evolve into an online hub for creativity and innovation and help to maximise the impact of City of Culture across the region,” Said the Minister.
