Application schedule

Culture Ireland's principal funding scheme is designed to support the presentation and promotion of Irish arts internationally. There are four funding rounds each year, with deadlines as follows:

In very exceptional cases, where high-profile invitations to present work internationally are received too late for the quarterly deadline (e.g. a new film being programmed by a major festival), applications may be considered at short notice.

Culture Ireland also operates "See Here" a scheme to support Irish Artists and arts organisations to invite international programmers, presenters, curators, promoters or critics to see new Irish work with a view to subsequent international presentation. Applications under this scheme are accepted on an ongoing basis. More detailed information can be accessed here.

The Board of Culture Ireland will meet to consider applications 4 times a year in early, March, June, September and December. The deadline for receipt of applications is the 15th of the previous month (15th February, 15th May, 15th August and 15th November).

The next deadline for receipt of applications is 15th August 2008. (Not withstanding the above, in all cases, applications must be submitted in time to be considered by the Board at its meeting at least 8 weeks in advance of the event for which funding is sought.)
