Creative Arts: Grants and Funding

Applications are now open for a further Stream of funding under the Cultural Capital Scheme – Stream E. In line with the Government's action on climate change, this scheme will provide funding for projects that reduce an organisation’s carbon footprint and will, for the first time, include funding for organisational energy audits. Projects that provide additional capacity for artists and artistic production, as well as those that address access issues, will also be supported. Full details available in the attached Guidelines for the Scheme.

Applications are now open for Local Authorities under the Pilot Artist Workspaces Scheme to increase the provision of artists’ workspaces across Ireland.

The primary focus of this pilot scheme is to provide funding to Local Authorities to enable them to provide additional capacity and availability of artist workspaces in their regions on a sustainable basis. Under this scheme Local Authorities are therefore invited to propose projects which can accommodate and address the demand for artist workspaces in their regions and produce workspaces that are fit for purpose, design focused and accessible. Full details available in the attached Guidelines for the Scheme.
