![]() Since that meeting Audrey has developed the Chamber and has benefitted from the tremendous support and guidance Neil Keenan and his colleagues in the Dun Laoghaire Chamber of Commerce have given to the initiative. It was an idea she has been developing for about a decade arising from her strong belief that there is no contradiction between being an artist and a business person. She described it as a movement to support the particular set of needs of practitioners operating in the art that would mirror the Chamber of Commerce model. Particular thanks to Audrey McKenna and Neil Keenan for their kind invitation to address you at this, the inaugural forum of the Chamber of Arts, Heritage and Culture.Īudrey first introduced me to her idea for a Chamber of Culture a few years ago over coffee in Bloomfield Shopping Centre. Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am delighted to be here in Dublin Castle for today’s discussion on the topic: ‘Harnessing the Cultural Sector as an Economic Resource – An Unparallelled Opportunity and Project of its Time’. Tá me buíoch dibh as an cuireadh agus an fáilte forchaoin a chur sibh romham. Tá an-áthas orm bheith i bhur láthair ar an ocáid specialta seo.
