Culture Ireland is inviting applications to join the Irish delegation for those wishing to promote work at FiraTàrrega taking place in Tàrrega, Spain from 11 to 14 September 2025. FiraTàrrega is an international networking and showcase event for the performing arts, with special emphasis on street art and spectacle genres.
The 2025 edition is a special one as Ireland is participating as a focus country. This is a dedicated initiative designed to showcase the country’s artistic scene on a global stage through performances, discussions, and cultural exchange. The official programme will feature four Irish companies who will be accompanied by an industry delegation, highlighting Ireland’s rich contributions to the outdoor arts.
Since its first involvement in 2017, Culture Ireland has continued to fund the Irish Street Art, Circus and Spectacle Network to manage and deliver Ireland’s presence at FiraTàrrega.
Previous attendance by Irish artists has created international opportunities and enhanced networks for the Irish street art and spectacle genres globally.
How to Apply:
Culture Ireland is offering a limited number of delegate bursaries aimed at artists and companies from the street art and spectacle artforms. Applicants should have a track record of touring internationally, have excellent promotional material available and/or demonstrate the benefit from attending the event to promote their work.
