Calling all artists - Offaly County Council wants to hear from you!

Offaly County Council Arts Office invites professional artists, individuals or groups, to work with youth organisations to submit a proposal for the delivery of a Youth Arts Project for the cohort of 13 to 25 year olds within Offaly. The commission is open to submissions from all art disciplines including visual arts, film, animation, digital arts, performing arts, literature, or sound art. The commission can concentrate on one art form or a range of art forms but must include the participation of/engagement with a professional artist. Young people’s active participation and the co-creation of work should be central to the youth arts project.

Youth Arts Provision is embedded into the framework and strategies of the Arts Office of Offaly County Council. Throughout the years the Council has delivered numerous programmes which engaged young people, and they now wish to commission a number of small youth projects that will enable engagement between professional artists and young people (13+) facilitated by youth organisations, youth leaders and schools.

The goal of the commissions is to build secure relationships with relevant partners for the development of Youth Arts in the county, with the voice of young people being a priority.

A maximum budget of €5,000.00 is available per project, with a maximum of three projects funded.

The closing date for applications is 4pm on February 15 next, and for online English form visit https://submit.link/2ix
