Deadline: 24-Oct-2025
The Comhairle Contae County Council is requesting applications for its Arts Grant Programme to support the professional development of individual artists in any artform (music, theatre, dance, film, visual art, literature, architecture, circus, craft, opera, street art or traditional arts).
Grants will not cover projects already funded by the council, loans or debts, charity events, commercial projects, international travel, university or college education, hiring council buildings, or passing the funds to a third party.
The funding period covers January to December 2026, providing artists with an opportunity to advance their work, acquire new skills, or enhance their creative spaces. Individual artists who live or work in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown are eligible to apply, but applicants may only submit one application for an arts grant and must disclose if they are applying for other council grants.
Applicants can request up to €3,000, and each submission will be evaluated based on the quality of the artist’s past work, the strength of the proposal and how it would support their professional development, and the feasibility of completing the project on time and within budget. Given limited funding, proposals demonstrating greater need may receive priority.
Late applications will not be accepted under any circumstances. An online briefing session will be held on Monday, 13th October at 11am for interested applicants. The deadline for application is 24 October 2025.
