The Creative Ireland Kerry Programme is a collaboration between Creative Ireland and Kerry County Council.

The Creative Communities Grants Scheme is a part of the upcoming 2023–2027 Culture & Creativity Strategy for Kerry, informed by public consultation in 2022.

The focus of the scheme is to enable creativity in every community and so applications are welcome from communities, creative practitioners and organisations for community-rooted projects that reflect this.

Applications must ensure a significant degree of community participation, impact and engagement. The community must benefit from the project, which must be creative in nature.

The application form and guidelines are available now in the ‘Forms/Funding’ section of the Arts Office website at www.arts.kerrycoco.ie. The deadline for submission of applications is 1pm on Tuesday, February 28.

For anyone interested in finding out more, there will be a free, one-hour information session online.

This will be facilitated by Kerry County Council’s Arts Officer / Creative Ireland Co-ordinator and will take place on Tuesday 7 February, from 6:30–7:30 p.m.

Interested individuals or groups should register in advance by emailing the Arts Office on arts@kerrycoco.ie, indicating whether they are a creative practitioner, community group, arts venue etc. FAQs will be made available online after the session, for anyone unavailable to attend.
