Visual Artists’ Workspace Scheme Minor Capital Grant

Visual Artists Ireland, on behalf of The Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport and in partnership with the Arts Council, invites applications for grants towards the cost of equipment and/or improvements to the quality of artists’ workspaces. Following the Arts Council’s recent policy on ‘Visual Artists’ Workspaces – A New Approach’, where capital grants to visual artists’ workspaces were outlin! ed as a priority, the Department recognises the extent of legitimate need for capital investment in visual artists’ workspaces at the present time. The scheme will award capital grants of up to €15,000 to purchase/maintain essential equipment for the benefit of artists and/or to undertake improvements to the quality of the artists’ workspace. The total fund available is up to €140,000. Further information from 01 – 8722296 and at  www.visualartists.ie
