Youth Arts Residency grants open for application

Youth Arts Grants are now available for application by youth groups and partner organisations to provide artists in residence for projects, writes Brian Byrne.

Youth Art Explorer Grants of €1,500 or Youth Arts Full Grants of €5,000 are available through the National Youth Council of Ireland, which is administering the Artist and Youth Work Residency Grant Scheme on behalf of the Arts Council.

The scheme is designed to promote innovative partnerships between youth groups, artists and (where relevant) arts organisations. A residency may take the form of an artist in residence in a youth work setting and/or a youth group in residence in an arts setting.

An online session explaining the scheme will take place on Monday 15 March. Full details of the scheme and an opportunity to register for the online session are available here.
