*** 30% rise in number of arts and cultural events supported by RT ***
During 2023, RT supported 170 arts and cultural events all over Ireland through the RT Supporting the Arts scheme. Spanning film, music, dance, opera, festivals, literature, theatre and exhibitions, RT has delivered a 30% increase year-on-year in the annual number of campaigns supporting Ireland's rich and vibrant cultural landscape.
Across the year, RT increased its commitment to supporting both new and established events in our communities, including Dublin Dance Festival, Babor International Arts Festival for Children, C irt International Festival of Literature, Galway Film Fleadh, IFI Documentary Festival 2023, Culture Night 2023, Dublin Theatre Festival, and much many more.
The number of arts and cultural festivals and events supported by RT has grown steadily from a base of 100 per year in 2013, up to 150 in 2022, and now 170 in 2023. The scheme offers dedicated promotion on RT 's television, radio and digital services, and extensive support across RT 's social channels. With production services often provided by RT , in addition to promotional airtime, the RT Supporting the Arts scheme is a lifeline to Ireland's creative and cultural sectors.
This December is no exception with an array of events taking place as outlined below, including Library Ireland Week, which runs until 9th December.
