Culture Ireland Regular GrantScheme
All Information
The Culture Ireland Regular Grant Scheme provides financial assistance for Irish professional artists and arts organisations presenting their work internationally at significant cultural venues, festivals, and artistic events. The scheme aims to increase the international visibility of Irish creativity, strengthen cultural exchange, and help artists access audiences and professional networks outside Ireland. Funding is primarily intended to cover expenses directly associated with presenting artistic work internationally. This may include travel, transport, freight, accommodation, and subsistence costs. Applicants must demonstrate that the proposed event offers a meaningful opportunity for international presentation and that a suitable international partner is involved. The scheme is not a general grant for artists to develop work without a confirmed presentation opportunity.
