MEATH ARTS GROUP

The core objectives of the Group are:

     1.  To provide a permanent arts centre to promote the status of the visual arts and to act as a
          resource for artists and the general community, free from aesthetic, political, cultural or any other 
          bias or exclusivity.     

     2. To raise the profile of artists and the arts within the community and to make the arts accessible to
          the broadest possible public.

     3. To provide a vehicle for artists to make a valuable contribution to the community in which they
         work while at the same time enabling them to perfect their own skills and contribute to the
         development of the centre as a facility.

     4. To develop the centre as part of the national arts infrastructure to benefit local artists, arts
         organisations, community organisations and the community in general.

     5. To provide an exhibition venue for works of art, bringing significant work to the locality and
         making the venue available for viewing in a non-elitist environment, by establishing and organising
         a Gallery for the exhibition of paintings and other works of art.

     6. To provide workshops, studios and other facilities to enable artists to progress their work through
        the development of proper studio practices and routines in sculpture, painting, photography, print
        and fine arts generally.

     7. To assist in the development of the broader arts infrastructure locally by networking with other
         arts bodies and contributing positively to arts policy.

     8.  Develop a directory listing of the Association members and associates.
