SUMMARY:Event: A look at Ireland’s Basic Income for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we’ll explore the Irish Income for the Arts programme\, which has supported artists’ incomes and helped retain talent in the sector since 2022. The scheme has awarded a weekly payment of €325 for 2\,000 artists selected at random. With the pilot scheme ending in February 2026\, this will be an opportunity to explore how it works\, the impact it’s had on artist and the cultural scene in Ireland\, and to discuss what a similar scheme would look like in Wales.  \n\nThe panel will include a representative from the Basic Income for the Arts Research Team at the Irish Government; an Irish writer\, Elaine Garvey\, who is a recipient of the scheme; and a changemaker from Wales. More details to be announced soon.  \nLanguage: Welsh and English\, with simultaneous translation service

SUMMARY:Event: ENSFR reading group\, January meeting
DESCRIPTION:This year’s first short fiction reading group meeting will take place (via Zoom) on Monday 26th January at 5pm (UK time). Below\, you can find information on how to join the online meeting room. \nDuring the meeting\, we will be discussing Paul’s reading suggestion: the short story “Butterflies” by Samanta Schweblin. It is a very short story at just a page long. You can access the short story\, as well as a five-minute video of the reading of the story\, from the links below: \nSamanta Schweblin: Butterflies – Bookanista \nReading of Butterflies Video \nOur conversation will focus on the following key questions that Paul has selected: \nQ1) To what extent does the brevity of the story heighten the protagonist’s emotional intensity at the ending? \nQ2) What symbolic role do the butterflies play within the narrative? \nQ3) In what ways does the story construct or critique masculinity? \nQ4) How is parenthood depicted\, and what tensions or expectations surround it in the story? \nQ5) How is Nature represented\, and what thematic significance does it carry? \nQ6) Does the story align more closely with gothic fiction\, ecological writing\, or family drama—or does it deliberately blend multiple genres? What might this hybridity suggest about the expressive power and intensity of the short story form? \nJoin the zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86043265746?pwd=900rbjzbcMrfkwKts7nKjf1Bdzljtq.1

SUMMARY:Event: Online Talk\, Elizabeth Gaskell’s Short Stories – An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin popular speaker Elizabeth Williams for this intriguing introduction to a different side of Elizabeth Gaskell’s story-telling. \nBetter known for her classic novels\, Elizabeth Gaskell was a prolific writer of short stories. Charles Dickens knew this and encouraged her to write for his literary magazine. \nWorks like the much-loved Cranford started as short stories. Others\, like Libbie Marsh’s Three Eras and Lizzie Leigh\, drew on themes of female friendship\, industrialism and class relations that would later feature in novels such as Mary Barton or North and South. \nSo\, where did Elizabeth Gaskell get her ideas from? What inspired her to write in this format and why did she cover so many genres?
