ARTLINKS ANNOUNCES NEW SUITE OF BURSARY AWARDS FOR 2010 TOTALING €30,000
ARTLINKS is pleased to announce a suite of bursaries and awards for its membership in the five ArtLinks partner Counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow for 2010. Director Cathy Fitzgerald remarked that there have been changes in 2010 to the ArtLinks Bursaries to reflect the changed economic climate. While the amount of funding available for bursaries has not changed significantly, the Awards have instead been divided into four bursaries, so that more arts practitioners can be supported. And new for 2010, in addition to applications being accepted from individual practitioners, applications from artist-led groups are also welcome. Please ensure that applications are submitted in advance of the April 1st closing date.
Four ArtLinks Bursaries per County
Four ArtLinks Bursary Awards will be awarded per ArtLinks partner county, to a successful practitioner or artist-led group in the categories of dance, music, drama/theatre, literature, film and visual arts.
