The Artist in the Community Scheme is an Arts Council funding initiative, managed by Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts.
The Bursary Award is aimed at individual professional artists, working in any artform, who collaborate with individuals or groups/ communities (non-arts professionals). Artists must have a track record of making and interpreting art collaboratively with communities.
The bursary is for artists who are facing particular barriers and/or challenges in developing their collaborative socially engaged arts practice due to their gender, sexual orientation, civil or family status, religion, age, disability, race, membership of the Traveller community, or socio-economic background.
There will be two awards of €20,000 awarded in 2025, offering the artists time to reflect on, and develop, their practice. One of the two bursary awards is specifically for an early career/emerging artist with a track record in collaborative arts practice.
Closing date for applications
