Visual Artists Workspace Scheme Update: Deadline extension
Please note that in consideration of the ongoing circumstances which have arisen due to COVID-19 the application period for this scheme has been extended.
The new closing date for applications to the 2021 Visual Artists Workspace Scheme is 17:30, Thursday 2 July 2020.
The purpose of this fund
The
purpose of the Visual Artists Workspace Scheme is to support artists’
workspaces throughout the country to provide the best possible working environment
for visual artists and, where feasible, to enable a level of subsidy for the
artists working in these spaces.
The
scheme is in line with the Arts Council’s ten-year strategy (2016–25), Making Great Art Work: Leading the Development of the Arts in Ireland which commits to
ensuring ‘a supportive working environment that addresses key points in the
creative cycle by which art is made’.
The scheme will award grants of up to €40,000 towards running costs such as light, heat, rent, artists’ development programmes, administration and/or appropriate salary costs. A proportion of support up to a maximum of 20% of the total request may be directed toward essential maintenance and equipment expenditure.
Who can apply?
Applications
are welcome from the following:
- Workspaces dedicated to the support of professional visual artists.
- Workspaces that accommodate at
least four professional visual artists working on site.
- Workspaces proposing to share resources for the benefit of the artists
working there.
- Workspaces that have applied to Arts Grant Funding 2020 or intend
applying for Project Funding 2020 towards their public activities (eg.
exhibitions, productions, etc.), and NOT FOR STUDIO SUPPORT.
- Workspaces that do not intend to apply for studio support through Arts
Council Strategic Funding 2020.
Workspaces
must be located in the Republic of Ireland.
The
Arts Council is committed to equity and inclusion, and welcomes applications
from
individuals or groups within culturally diverse communities and from artists with disabilities.
