ArtsEkta recently submitted an consultation response to the Arts Council of Northern Ireland on their draft Intercultural Arts Strategy. 

As an organisation we welcome the development of this strategy as formal recongition for the work that has been achieved by the sector over a large number of years. 

Nisha Tandon, Director of ArtsEkta commented 'Our experiences as an organisation working at the coalface with minority ethnic artists and communities re-iterate the need for such a strategy and we are delighted to be able to work with ACNI in this context. The creation of this strategy represents a huge milestone in the development of an infrastructure for minority ethnic arts in Northern Ireland, and with further review will be well placed to elevate Northern Ireland in line with practices elsewhere in the UK in this field'
