Kilkenny artists are being encouraged to apply for a number of bursaries to help them develop their work.
Applications for their Arts Act Grant, Tyrone Guthrie Bursary Award and Moth Bursary Award 2021 are now being accepted by Kilkenny County Council.
The 2003 Arts Act allows a local authority to provide financial assistance for the purposes of stimulating public interest in the arts, promoting the knowledge, appreciation and practices of the arts or improving standards in the arts. In this act, the expression “the arts” means creative or interpretative expression (traditional or contemporary) in whatever form and includes in particular visual arts, theatre, literature, music, film, literature, dance and Multi-disciplinary events.
