The Association of Local Authority Arts Officers ( ALA:AO) is a network representing the appointed Arts Officers in each of the 31 Local Authorities in Ireland. Local Authority Arts Offices throughout Ireland are a pivotal resource in the national arts infrastructure working at local level and as such the Association of Local Authority Arts Officers is an expert collective in terms of local arts development experience, expertise and practice. Local Authority Arts Offices play a critical role in developing and supporting the arts across the country with the first local Authority Arts Officer appointed in partnership with the Arts Council in County Clare in 1985.
