Opportunity for Schools: Kildare County Council Arts in Education Residency Award 2025
Kildare County Council Arts Service Arts in Education Residency Award 2025
Closing date: Friday 28 February, 12pm
Kildare County Council Arts Service invites applications to the Arts in Education Residency Award 2025.
The Arts in Education Residency Award is open to all primary and post primary schools in County Kildare who wish to engage a professional artist to enhance the school’s Arts Education programme. Applications can be made for Arts in Education Residency Awards of €2,500.
The residency bursary of €2,500 is intended for artists’ fees only. The school should cover the costs of basic materials. However, if specialised materials are required, some of the funding may be allocated for that purpose. An artist must be sourced by the school in advance of the application being made and this person must be identified on the application form. The application form should be jointly prepared by the relevant teacher(s) and artist.
Kildare County Council welcome applicants who represent the diversity of Irish society. They encourage applications from all areas of the community regardless of your gender, sexual orientation, civil or family status, religion, age, disability, race or membership of the Traveller Community, or socio-economic background. They welcome applications from artists whose first language is not English.
Application Deadline:
Applications must be submitted before the deadline at 12pm Friday 28th February 2025.
