Creative Ireland South Dublin: Schools Culture Award 2026

Award/Grants Scheme

The Creative Ireland South Dublin, Schools Culture Award 2026 is an intitiative that encourages applications from interested schools located in South Dublin County to work together with an artist in delivering a creative/cultural project for their students. This initiative seeks to support pre-schools, primary schools, second level schools and programmes that support early school leavers, to develop programmes and projects that will enrich arts and cultural practice in schools in the county, in the disciplines of Drama, Dance and Visual Arts. Awards will be granted in the region of €500 – €2000. The maximum amount of any award is €2000

While it is not possible to offer this scheme to every school that applies, the programme seeks to encourage, in so far as possible, an art form and geographic spread and also to award the scheme to previously unsuccessful applicants.
