WOMEN+ Young Singer Songwriter Course with Megan O'Neill and Gráinne Hunt, Creative Communities Grant 2025, Riverbank Arts Centre
Kildare County Council is pleased to announce the opening of the Creative Communities Grant 2026. Delivered as part of the Creative Ireland, all-of-government culture and wellbeing programme, and designed to inspire and empower people, places, and communities through creativity.
This call seeks to support ambitious, inclusive, and community-centred creative projects that will deepen public engagement with culture and creativity across County Kildare in 2026.
Projects may address cultural domains including Cultural & Natural Heritage, Performance & Celebration, Visual Arts & Crafts, Books & Press, Audio-visual & Interactive Media, Design & Creative Services, and Intangible Cultural Heritage. Projects should develop creative responses to climate and biodiversity crises; embed equality and cultural diversity; enhance wellbeing through creative participation, explore sense of place, heritage, and identity; and / or strengthen Kildare’s cultural ecosystem.
Applications are invited from individual creative practitioners and artists, community groups and SMEs for project grants ranging from €1,500 to €10,000. Kildare County Council is particularly interested in applications that expand access to culture, demonstrate strong community engagement, interdisciplinary collaboration, operate over a duration of time and directly involve public participation.
Applications must be submitted online by Sunday, March 1 at 12am (midnight). Supporting material is strongly recommended. Free information sessions will take place across County Kildare from February 9-11, offering guidance on the Creative Communities Grant. Applicants needing assistance should contact the Creative Ireland team at creative@kildarecoco.ie.
Applications and registration for info clinics can be made through the links provided kildarecocoarts.
