Arts Act Grant Scheme 2024

The Arts Act Grant Scheme is now closed for 2024. 

Tipperary County Council invites applications for assistance under the Arts Act Grant Scheme 2024. The Tipperary Arts Act Grant Scheme is intended to assist organisations with arts related costs, run an arts programme, project or event which would, in the opinion of the Council, deliver quality arts experiences to participants and audiences, to increase opportunities for participation and engagement in the arts and to contribute to the development of the arts in the county.

The Arts means any creative or interpretative expression (whether traditional or contemporary) and includes in particular visual arts, theatre, literature, music, dance, opera, film, circus and architecture and includes any medium when used for those purposes.

Applications should be made on the official application form and should comply with the guidelines set out by Tipperary County Council.

Creative Grant Scheme Information

The Tipperary Creative Ireland Grant schemes for 2024 are now closed. 

The Strategic Priorities for the Tipperary Creative Ireland programme 2023 - 2027 are:

  1. Our Peoples Creativity - to nurture creativity across the county, foster relationships between creative practitioners & communities, provide opportunity for creative engagement & promote inclusivity in access to participation in cultural activity.
  2. Our Creative Place - a sense of place is central to our priorities, in terms of knowing our culture, landscape and environment which connects spaces, places and people. Our rich landscape and cultural heritage have long been the inspiration for the cultural and creative sectors in the county.
  3. Creative Climate Action – to focus on projects which have a climate action element to collectively address these issues.
  4. Our Creative Economy - the key goal of this priority is to support creative activities which have an economic impact e.g. our creative industries.

Tipperary Festivals and Events Grant Scheme 2024

Frequency: Annual

Status: CLOSED*

*New and Emerging Festivals or Events

Applications from festivals and events which are new or emerging and show signs of future potential to develop and can demonstrate that they link in with the objectives of Tipperary County Council are encouraged. It is important that these festivals and events are supported as they will promote and encourage innovation and creativity and may have the potential to scale up over time to become premier events. The purpose of this category is to enable an event which emerges mid-year (after the festival deadline for that year) to seek support on an exceptional basis. A festival or event may only apply to this category in its first year of operation. Organisers of such events should contact artsoffice@tipperarycoco.ie to seek further information.

Festivals and events are central to the fabric of life in County Tipperary and deliver a range of economic, social and cultural benefits. They entertain, they celebrate our communities, showcase our villages and towns and are often an expression of identity and place. They represent arts, cultural, heritage and sporting assets and make a positive contribution in influencing the perception of County Tipperary.

Tipperary County Council aims to promote and support local festivals and events that are not solely commercially focused throughout the County, to support and assist those events that have an artistic, community, heritage, sporting or tourism focus and which contribute significantly to quality of life.

 

The Tipperary Festivals & Events Strategy defines Festivals and Events as follows:

Festival: A collection of events that celebrate a single or general theme and are promoted as one within this theme, occurring within a defined timeframe.

Event: A celebration, activity, exhibition or staged performance that is open to the general public for a limited time (not necessarily free of charge). An example of an event is a St Patrick's Day Parade, community show/day, community sports event, public exhibition or showcase.
