Arts Forms/Funding
Annual Funding
Subject to budget, we award the Arts Act Grant (for arts festivals, groups & events), individual Artist Bursaries (Creative Work Development, Further Arts Education, Artist in Retreat & the Eamon Kelly Bursary), the Artists in Schools Scheme and the Youth Theatre Grant Scheme. The deadline for 2025 applications has now passed.
Creative Communities Grant Scheme 2025
Funding of up to €6,000 is available to community projects with creative engagement and a showcase event before October 2025. Applications are welcome for standalone projects that incorporate creativity and culture and which must ensure a significant degree of community participation, impact, and engagement. New, ambitious and meaningful collaborations between creative practitioners, organisations or community groups are encouraged. This year, previously successful applicants that wish to build on the impact they achieved to date, can apply to continue the projects, and build on their work by further developing creative engagement.
For more detailed queries in relation to the application process, Emma will be available for individual meetings in selected library branches the week beginning 10th February. To schedule a clinic slot, please complete this online form.
The closing date for applications is 1pm on Thursday 27th February 2025.
