• Costs relating to the production of a specific body of new artistic work – development of new work for exhibition, publication or presentation.
• Costs relating to improving your knowledge – research or short-term courses in Ireland or a structured mentoring relationship.
• Costs relating to improving your professional capacity – such as website development, on-line supports, or documentation.
• Other – or any purpose that contributes to the removal of existing barriers to an artist’s development.

Closing date for applications is 4pm Wednesday 17th August 2022.
