To kick off 2026 we’re hosting two Funding Clubs, an initiative for Kilkenny artists to meet and work on funding applications together.
January marks the beginning of deadlines such as ArtLinks, Arts Act Grant, and then Creative Ireland and Cruinniú na Óg Grants in February. The session can be used to share current practice and process, talk through research and ambitions, and offer helpful feedback and advice. We’d like to hear how the Tea Houses can support you in your application: do you need a meeting space, room to experiment, or somewhere to make a mess? We’re here to help and would love to hear more!
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. WiFi is available.
We are committed to creating a safe space for everyone involved to take part equally. The space is fully wheelchair accessible. If anyone has any further access needs for this event please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Rachel Botha at bothar.work@gmail.com
