Deadline: 1-Oct-21
The Culture Ireland is seeking applications for Promoting Irish Arts Worldwide.
Culture Ireland offers support to Irish professional artists, arts organisations and international presenters to present work by Irish artists at significant international venues and festivals.
In supporting an event, Culture Ireland traditionally offers grant funding towards costs which relate directly to the international presentation of the event, i.e. travel and travel related costs such as transport, freight, accommodation and subsistence.
In response to the current Irish Government travel guidelines and the ongoing uncertain situation regarding international travel into 2021, Culture Ireland is now also accepting applications from Irish artists and Irish or International arts organisations for the presentation of work online to International audiences. In order for an application to be considered, the applicant must have an International partner or be an International presenter who will provide a fee to the artist and assist with promotion and presentation costs.

- Profile of international venue/festival
- Proven capacity of applicant, artist/s or arts organisation to present work internationally
- Wider promotional and media impact
Eligibility Criteria
- Application must be in respect of an Irish professional artist/s or arts organisation
- Application must be in respect of an art form defined under the Arts Act 2003
- Only international events are supported (i.e., outside the island of Ireland)
