Arts Centres Arts Grant Funding Clinic 

The Arts Centres team will be running a clinic for prospective Arts Grant funding applicants on the 24^th of March at 11am.

The purpose of Arts Grants Funding is to ensure that there is a breadth of high-quality arts activity and programmes throughout the country. It offers flexible support for a fixed period of time, and in so doing responds to the needs of those who are making, presenting and supporting work.

Arts Grant Funding is intended to:

• Support more than one distinct arts activity taking place within a fixed period of time, or
• Provide supports or facilities to artists over a fixed period of time.

The focus of Arts Grant Funding is to deliver outcomes that develop the arts, either through:

• Generating high-quality experiences for the public to engage with the arts, or
• Providing excellent services, resources or facilities that support the work of artists or the arts sector and
• Contributing to the ecology of the arts within your area of practice.

Who can apply?

Arts Grant Funding is available across all artforms and arts practice areas, and is open to organisations.

Note: Individuals applying must demonstrate that their proposal involves collaboration and/or partnership that include the delivery of public outcomes or outcomes that benefit other artists

A Zoom link will be circulated to attendees prior to the session.

If you have further inquiries, please email: Martin.Rochford@artscouncil.ie

Registration will close at 10:00am on Friday the 24th of March.

Places for this clinic can be reserved here

Arts Centres Capacity Building Support Scheme

The Arts Centres team will be running a clinic for prospective Capacity Building Support Scheme applicants on the 31^st of March at 11am.

The Capacity Building Support Scheme has been developed to support arts organisations to gain support, skills and expertise to review and adapt their artistic and/or business models and support their strategic development in the medium to long term.

Who is eligible for the Capacity Building Support Scheme?

• Arts organisations who have been funded by the Arts Council previously
• · Groups of arts organisations who have been funded by the Arts Council previously (in these cases one organisation must act as the named applicant)
• · In the case of arts organisations that do not have a historical funding relationship with the Arts Council, we will accept applications from arts organisations that are not for profit and/or formally constituted as CLGs, DACs or charities.

It is possible that organisations may be part of one or more group/consortia applications while also applying as a single organisation, however they can only be the named (lead) applicant in one application. In these cases there must not be a duplication of purpose or activity across applications – e.g. an organisation may be part of a group/consortium that applies to the scheme to develop digital capacity, and then the organisation may make a separate application for costs of professional development for staff.

A Zoom link will be circulated to attendees prior to the session.

If you have further inquiries, please email: Martin.Rochford@artscouncil.ie

Registration will close at 10:00am on Friday the 31^st of March.
