Irish Theatre Institute (ITI) is piloting Application Haven: a new, artist-centred initiative designed to support theatre makers, producers, and independent artists as they navigate the next two Arts Council funding rounds. 

This pilot is focused on the upcoming Theatre Bursary Award and Project Award.

What is APPLICATION HAVEN? 

ITI is offering a dedicated strategy day and four days of a calm, communal space in the lead-up to each deadline—somewhere to write, ask last-minute questions, and get those applications over the line. 

Think of it as a creative co-working space—but tailored for final drafts, budget checks, and focused support.

• Strategy Day: Thursday 22 May – Drop in to explore ideas and approaches to your application.
