Application deadline looms for artists interested in Mayo bursary

The Mayo County Council Arts Service is advising interested parties that the closing date for receipt of applications for the Levelling Access Artists Practice Bursary is Tuesday next, November 19.

Earlier this year, the arts services of Mayo County Council, Clare County Council and Galway City Council announced details of a bursary for each local authority, and invited applications from artists with disabilities.

The bursary is open to professional artists with disabilities working in any artform and at any stage of their career resident in Mayo, Clare or Galway city.

It will support professional artists with disabilities to develop their practice, create new work, or develop an artistic project, with one award in each local authority area to the value of €5,000 plus specific access supports, resources and network opportunities.

Application forms and guidelines can be downloaded for Mayo here, for Clare here, and for Galway city here.

The Levelling Access Artists Practice Bursary is funded by Arts Council Ireland.
