Make sure to keep an eye out in the coming weeks for the recordings of our online events so you can watch them back in full.

Do you have a good idea for a youth arts project in your youth group but need funding to work with an artist?

This long-running scheme managed by NYCI on behalf of the Arts Council and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has been successfully bringing together young people, artists, and youth workers over the past number of years to create exciting and meaningful youth arts residencies.

There are two types of grant available:

  • Youth Arts Explorer grants of up to €1,500 for those starting out and 
  • Artist and Youth Work Residency grants of up to €5,000 for those with a little more experience.

We're here to support you!

Find out everything you need to know about the grants and how to apply. If you have any questions, make sure to register for one of our FAQs sessions on March 5th or March 6th or get in touch. We'd be delighted to hear from you.


All the best,

Rhona
