Culture Ireland Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial assistance to artists who are planning to take their work on tour to international locations.

👤Who it's for

This grant is specifically designed for artists who are preparing to take their creative work on tour to international locations. It is aimed at those looking to expand their reach beyond the local level and present their art to audiences in other countries.

🎁What you get

If successful, you can receive financial support to help manage the various expenses associated with an international tour. This assistance is intended to help cover the costs of international travel and the specific costs related to your performances while you are abroad.

💰What it costs you

While there is no stated application fee, the scheme requires a significant investment of time and advance planning. You must submit your application at least three months before your tour is scheduled to start. This means you cannot apply for last-minute trips; your itinerary and plans must be established well in advance of the deadline.

⚠️The catch to know

There are two main things to keep in mind when applying. First, the grant does not cover all of your tour costs, so you will need to account for any gaps in your budget. Second, you must be able to prove that your tour will have a significant cultural impact. You will need to demonstrate how your presence and performance will contribute to the cultural landscape of the locations you are visiting.

📝How to apply

1. Determine the specific details of your international tour and the locations you intend to visit.
2. Calculate your estimated expenses, keeping in mind that the grant may not cover every single cost.
3. Prepare evidence and documentation to show the significant cultural impact your tour will achieve.
4. Complete your application and submit it through the official portal at least three months before your planned start date.
