The National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) Youth Arts Programme is delighted to invite applications for the SPARK Mini-Grants worth €300.
The purpose of this grant is to support youth arts taster workshops for young people aged 10 to 25 in youth work and non-formal education settings. It aims to spark young people’s interest in new art forms and new project ideas and spark new relationships between youth workers and local artists! The mini-grant will support artist fees and materials for a once-off youth arts workshop.
SPARK Youth Arts Festival is funded by The Arts Council and the Department for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
Youth workers and artists will be invited to share the outcomes of their workshops on February 24th as part of the Youth Arts Showcase during the SPARK Youth Arts Festival.
