Culture Night will take place nationwide on Friday 19th September 2025 from 4pm 'til late. Kildare County Council Arts Service now welcomes applications from individual artists and/or groups of artists for unique public-facing artistic projects of ambition across art forms to coincide with the county's Culture Night celebrations. Commissions will range from €2,000 - €4,000.
We are particularly interested in projects that:
- are of ambition and scale;
- are new and/or represent a new development to an existing project;
- are in-person, engaging and public-facing;
- consider alternative/non traditional spaces;
- reflect the cultural richness of Kildare and the diversity of all communities living in the county;
- target, engage and grow new/different audiences for culture and the arts in the county;
- engage the 18-35 demographic (although this is not an obligatory requirement).
