STAMP was developed to both support and showcase the value of creative thinking and artistic inspiration in helping to shape a vibrant and attractive city for locals and tourists. One of the project outputs was a pop-up city festival which placed an emphasis on visitors and locals being able to actively experience Cork’s creative offering by ‘doing and making’. This involved 55 separate events in 11 city centre venues, including the animation and ‘meanwhile’ use of some vacant and derelict premises. By shining a light on the tourism potential of Cork’s cultural and creative industries, the STAMP project managed to influence an enhanced focus on the potential of the creative economy into Cork City’s Culture & Creativity Strategy 2018-2022 (part of the National Creative Ireland Programme), which saw an investment of €1.2 million in nearly 100 community-facing projects and events during its lifetime. Working in partnership with 405 creative practitioners/partners, the city enabled approximately 971,000 creative engagements by audiences and participants. Find out more via: https://stampcork.ie/
