Project Arts Centre and Arts & Disability Ireland have a long history of supporting artists and are working together to support artists with disabilities to produce high quality arts and disability work for presentation.
For Project Arts Centre, this is an exciting opportunity to extend its supports for artists, and to present ambitious new work that reflects the complexity of contemporary life in Ireland to a diverse audience. This award is supported by the Project 50 Commissioning Fund.
Arts & Disability Ireland have identified the need for a production award through its experience of managing the Arts and Disability Connect funding scheme for artists with disabilities. This production award will fund an artist to produce and present a new work, which is beyond the scope of the current scheme.
What artforms are eligible?
Individual artists with disabilities working in theatre and contemporary dance are eligible to apply.

Artists are invited to submit an expression of interest application by Thursday, 15th November at 4pm. Expression of interest application form and guidelines are available to download from 15th October at projectartscentre.ie/realiseaward or adiarts.ie/realise-production-award
