On Bloomsday 2020, President Michael D. Higgins hosted what was the first in a series of cultural performances that will highlight Irish art and creativity.
The Covid-19 crisis has posed a fundamental threat to the arts, as the measures necessary for the containment of the virus have led to the closure of so many sites, venues, museums, theatres, libraries and heritage sites, and have resulted in loss of income for countless workers in the arts.
By hosting cultural performances at Aras an Uachtaráin, President Higgins sought to emphasise the importance of the arts in our lives, and thus the importance of the work artists do, recognising how fortunate we are to have the depth and breadth of Ireland’s talent and creativity.
