“Not alone does it bring story and drama directly to us but it shows, by its very existence, the transforming power of the arts in the lives of those involved. I have not been as moved or as energised in a very long time and I was not alone.”
Peter Sheridan, writer

Socially Engaged Artist Opportunity

Are you a professional artist who wants to grow their community and socially engaged arts practice? RADE is seeking to collaborate with an artist interested in applying for the current Arts Council funded Arts Participation Bursary Award Round 1, particularly if you are practicing in the disciplines of theatre, dance, visual arts, music or poetry.

If your practice would benefit from aligning with a small community organisation, whose principles are based on the transformative power of the arts, and you would like to work with us in Autumn 2025 we would love to hear from you.

Contact RADE Project Director Gill McCaw on gill@rade.ie or call 01 454 8733

Deadline for submitting your application to the Arts Council is 13th February 2025 5.30pm. Click Here for Arts Council Arts Participation Bursary Award 2025 1Guidelines
