Wicklow County Council New Strategic Projects Scheme

Deadline Wednesday  24th September 2014

Wicklow County Arts Office is seeking applications from interested parties for funding to collaboratively develop and deliver new projects of high quality and impact during 2015 which will enhance and complement the Arts Office strategic development of the arts in the county. This is the second year that this scheme has been offered.

The Arts Office is particularly interested to hear from national resource organisations, individual curators and artist collectives who have the potential to propose projects which will nurture practice, create connectivity, generate new perspectives and voices within the cultural life of the county and support a diversity of approach.

Proposals should be for new initiatives which add significant value to arts practice, experience and participation in Wicklow and support the Arts Office strategic goals for the arts in 2015.

This programme is open to individuals and organisations from Ireland across all arts disciplines. Reflecting the balance of other elements of the Arts Office programme, the Arts Office would particularly welcome strong applications in the art-form areas of literature, film, architecture, artist development music and the visual arts.

The total amount of the fund available is subject to finalisation of the Council’s own funding for 2015 but is likely to be a maximum of €60,000 over the two years of the programme.

The Arts Office may fund up to four individual projects to a maximum of €15,000 as a result of this call.
