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 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.
Update – Adjustment to Culture Ireland grant round deadlines for 2024
Culture Ireland is adjusting the grant deadline schedule for 2024 as we deal with unprecedented demand for our Regular Grant Round Funding. There will now be four grant rounds in 2024 instead of five as previously indicated. However, it is important to note that all windows of activity will be covered by the new schedule. It will still be possible to apply for projects taking place across the whole of 2024 and early 2025 under the new grant deadlines.
Please note that the next deadline for receipt of grant applications is midnight, 15th August 2024. Applications for funding to present work internationally November onwards must be submitted by this date.
