dlr Arts Grant Scheme
Grants are available annually to provide financial assistance to individual artists, arts groups and arts organisations engaged in arts projects or events at local or county level and to support the professional development and arts practice of individual artists.
Generally the grants open for applications in the Autumn with a closing date in October for the upcoming year.

We also fund Community Arts Grants and Arts Access Grants for Older People. These are available to support local arts activities and projects with services and community groups throughout the County. For help or advice on these two grants please contact Máire in the Arts Office. Email: mdavey@dlrcoco.ie or by phone (01) 236 2756.
