Arts Council announce Arts Participation Project Awards

The Arts Council’s Project awards support specific project activities under each of the above art form/arts practice areas. The award guidelines for each award can be downloaded from the available funding section of the Arts Council’s website.

The deadline for all the above awards is 5.30pm on Thursday, 2nd March 2017.

Applications will only be accepted through the Arts Council’s online services website and all supporting material must be submitted online. Applicants who have not previously used the online services site must register in advance of making an application. It may take up to five working days for your registrations to be confirmed so it is very important that you register as early as possible.

The Arts Council will offer a maximum of €60,000 in funding in the Arts Participation category of the Project awards. Project Awards are also available in the following art forms: Circus, Dance, Film, Music, Street Arts & Spectacle and Theatre.

The Arts Council now provide updates and assistance on the use of online services through their new Facebook page. Feel free to post or send them a message via the page if you need online services support when making a Project Award application: http://www.facebook.com/artscouncilireland

The awards are open to individuals and organisations. However, organisations in receipt of funding under any of the main Arts Council grant programmes (Regularly Funded Organisations, Annual Funding, Annual Programming Grant) will not be eligible to apply.
