Overview

The ISACS network was formed in late 2010 in response to a recognised need for a representative body for this emerging and flourishing area of practice in the arts in Ireland. ISACS exists to increase recognition for Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle artists and companies in Ireland, to build capacity in the sector and to create a strong support structure for these art forms. Over the past ten+ years ISACS membership has grown from 10 to over 200 currently and continues to grow. 

Vision:

To be a leading example of an artist first members network which supports and grows the street, circus and spectacle artforms of Ireland.

Mission:

Our mission is to celebrate our artforms, advocate for the policy and practical changes that will allow our artforms to flourish, grow our membership and sustain our organisation.

Goals:

ISACS’ four main goals are –

1. Celebrate our Artforms sharing the history, value, and potential of our work

2. Advocate for the policy and practical changes that will enable a flourishing Street Art, Spectacle and Circus sector to thrive in Ireland

3. Grow our support to ISACS members to enhance their capacity to deliver high quality work and to sustain their livelihoods

4. Sustain our organisation through increased and diversified funding and enhanced human capacity

In this particular call we are seeking someone who is based in Dublin and who has fundraising and financial expertise.

We would particularly welcome applications from a minority background.
