The Arts Council Partnership Funding supports the vital infrastructure needed to sustain and grow the arts across Ireland. It focuses on investing in local authorities, statutory bodies, and Ealaín na Gaeltachta to help develop and strengthen the arts sector.
This funding aims to deliver agreed strategic actions and outcomes outlined in each organization’s Framework Agreement. It supports the creation and presentation of high-quality art and arts activities, promotes a nurturing environment for artistic development, and provides professional growth opportunities for artists and arts professionals.
The program seeks to broaden access to the arts, encouraging participation from diverse audiences, including young people, children, new communities, and those who face barriers to access. It also promotes strong standards in governance and management within funded organizations.
Only Ealaín na Gaeltachta, local authorities, and statutory bodies are eligible to apply for this funding. Each eligible organization may submit only one application per year.
