€35,000 awarded to 39 arts applicants
A total of €35,000 has been awarded to 39 applicants for the Kerry County Council Arts Act Grants and Artists Bursaries for 2022 which will go towards funding arts festivals and events across the county this year.
€18,190 was awarded to 20 applicants for the Artists Bursaries – these include Creative Work Development, Further Arts Education, Artists in Schools, Artists Retreat and the Eamon Kelly Bursary for artists living in or from the Killarney Municipal District.
“These are very competitive awards,” Kate Kennelly, Arts Officer with Kerry County Council, said.
“I want to congratulate all successful applicants and, subject to budget, urge all applicants to apply again in 2023.”
The Arts Act Grants aim to stimulate public interest in the arts, promote knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts, and improve standards in the arts within the county.
“Artists and the arts are a vital part of our culture here in Kerry and I am delighted that Kerry County Council offers this support to the arts in Kerry,” Mayor of Kerry, Cllr. Jimmy Moloney, added.
“We have a fantastic range of arts festivals and events happening all year and I hope everyone will support their local arts events this year.”
