Arts Council Funding Clinic for dance

Date: 16 Mar 2011
In response to members’ requests, and queries about funding possibilities, Dance Ireland are hosting a Funding Clinic in collaboration with the Arts Council dance team: Head of Dance Davide Terlingo and Dance Advisor Jenny Roche on Wednesday 23 March from 3 to 5pm.
Increasingly flexible funding options are being offered by the Arts Council in response to reduced resources, yet they note the considerable increase in the quantity of applications they receive: for example in the first round of Bursaries for 2011 there are 32 applications compared to 13 in 2009. In Projects there were 29 applications in 2010 compared to 10 in 2008 and 14 in 2009.
It is therefore timely to provide an overview and reminder of the funding programmes, how these awards and schemes work and also gain a stronger insight into the criteria and assessment process.
Chaired by Dance Ireland board member Anne Maher, the focus will be on Annual Programming Grant (APG), dance touring, projects and bursary awards. There will be an opportunity for Q&A and also some focus on making an application.
In order to provide a meaningful clinic, the focus will remain on the topics outlined above and it will not be possible to use the Clinic to address individual or unsuccessful funding decisions. Please note places are limited and advance booking is essential.
