Artist Gathering

2 mins read

Receiving a grant can be transformative for an artist, offering more than just financial support. It provides the time, space, and resources needed to delve deeper into their creative process, explore new directions, and develop their practice in ways that might not have been possible otherwise. The validation and opportunities that come with a grant can lead to a more enriched, confident, and sustained artistic journey.

Join us for this end of year gathering in Harry’s Bar, Langton’s where a number of artists will share their journeys as recipients of Arts Office bursaries and supports, offering a glimpse into these have  influenced their careers and creative practices. This gathering is not just a chance to hear artists experiences but also an opportunity to connect with fellow artists and gain insights into the impact of support, financial or otherwise. Discover how these resources can open new doors, foster artistic innovation, and contribute to a thriving creative community. Whether you’re thinking of applying for bursary, or have in the past or you’re simply curious about the benefits of local support, this event will be welcoming and informative, a moment to connect with others in Kilkenny’s art community as the year draws to a close. We hope you’ll leave with new knowledge that might prepare you for the year ahead.
