The Arts, Health & Wellbeing Award provides a grant to individual artists and/or art collectives practicing in any artform. The Arts, Health & Wellbeing Award will provide a grant of up to €4,000 to support the development and/or creation and/or presentation of new artistic work that supports public engagement with the arts, in particular with hard-to-reach communities or those with limited access to the arts, whether for physical, social or geographical reasons.
Kildare County Council Arts Service is committed to supporting health and wellbeing through engagement and participation in the arts and developing opportunities for professional development. Kildare’s Arts, Health and Wellbeing programme supports public engagement, provides opportunities for artists working in this area, and aims to promote artistic ambition and inclusive participation. This programme is supported by the HSE.
The Arts, Health and Wellbeing Award opens for applications in December each year with a closing date at the end of February. Click here for more information.
