The ISACS Network has positioned itself as a leading example of an artist-first organisation supporting Ireland’s street, circus and spectacle art forms.
Our new strategic plan was launched in 2022. Our goals for the next three years include specific actions to encourage and empower our members in their journeys, supporting their professional development and creativity.
We do this through a series of enhanced programmes in the form of residencies, international activities, resources, mentorship and more.
