More ‘hands on’ needed in city council approach to arts, says local writer

I read with interest artist Aideen Berry's reaction (Letters, Feb 18, Galway Advertiser) to the departure of Galway city public arts officer, Megs Morley. Ms Morley served other duties as well, including that of interim 'literature officer' on occasion.

The issue of how the arts are viewed generally at City Hall is, to my mind, what will be "a major concern for Galway into the future?" There is growing dissatisfaction with the City Council's attitude to the arts, though it may satisfy some councillors to imagine that it originates from only one source.
