The development of Rural Arts is to ensure accessibility to the arts for artists and audiences. It was identified as a specific need in the Waterford City & County Arts Strategy 2016 -2021.
It is proposed, under this grants scheme, to invite proposals that will fulfil that obligation.
Innovative projects in any art form will be considered. Submissions from professional arts collectives/groups are encouraged. Proposals centred around open networking of artists would also be encouraged.
Please note that Projects focusing on the ongoing or regular output of existing groups cannot be considered under this scheme.
