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 many 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!
