KERRY Council County is inviting applications for funding from artists, arts festival, arts events and groups, communities, schools, and organisations planning arts activity for 2024.
“The Arts Act Grant provides funding to arts events and activities across the county each year,” said Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr. Jim Finucane.
“Last year, more than 40 groups and artists were granted funding for a wide range of events. There is great benefit to our communities, brought to us by creativity and work of artists, arts festivals & events. This funding by the Council is very important to support the arts sector.”
