For the first time in Ireland, performing arts venues all around the country have decided to take action, joining forces to promote the performing arts in Ireland. Take Your Seat is the name of a nationwide promotion happening in November aimed at encouraging people to return if they haven’t been for a while.

The Take Your Seat promotion will be built around a dedicated website, www.takeyourseat.ie, providing you – the consumer - with a one-stop-shop of exciting, live performances happening in venues nationwide, supported by a nationwide radio and print campaign alerting consumers to the promotion and driving them to the website.

Take Your Seat provides a model of innovative practice for public and private interests working together to address the issues which arise in difficult times.

The idea for the promotion came from those working in the industry, and is being co-ordinated by Arts Audiences, with the support of the Arts Council, Temple Bar Cultural Trust, Fáilte Ireland, and RTE Radio. Private sector interests have also rowed in, providing considerable pro bono promotional support for an initiative we all hope will be the first of many.

Full details about the venues and arts centres taking part in Take Your Seat will be published on www.takeyourseat.ie from Monday 19th October
