This research report examines how the arts in the city of Cork were celebrated and fostered through the city’s designation as European City of Culture for 2005.
Specifically, it aims to identify any legacies for the cultural sector in the aftermath of the ECOC year. The Cork 2005 cultural programme was extensive, with 244 events in programme strands that crossed 8 thematic areas. The report concluded that the ECOC designation was a boost for the city’s cultural sector in many ways. The study identified some areas where the possibilities opened up through ECOC designation might have been exploited more fully. Examples of these include developing public-private partnerships and capturing more extensive public engagement through the programming of more large-scale civic events.
