Wicklow Arts Office is now inviting proposals for participation in 2016 Culture Night. Wicklow Arts Office has repeatedly delivered extraordinary, innovative and engaging events for the public year on year and we hope that this year will be better again.Culture Night 2016 takes place FRIDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 2016.
This call is open to artists, performing groups, galleries, museums, sports clubs, libraries, arts centres, craft workers, studios and workshops, theatres, public spaces, broadcasters, schools, community groups, local authorities, Government Departments, state agencies and public bodies, transport companies, universities, shops and many more.
This year we are also interested in working with commercial companies who feel they may have something to add to Culture Night. We are also paying to particular attention to the scheduling of the events to try and avoid overlap that can reduce audiences for all so we would ask you to be flexible in your proposed event time. We are also keen to have organisations promote and support events in their area so please feel free to coordinate with other organisations in your area to provide the best.
If your group / venue is interested in participating, we would love to hear from you and talk about your proposal. All Culture Night events must be free of charge and priority will be given to those events happening exclusively for Culture Night.
The closing date for funding applications is Thursday the 14th of July 2015 at 4pm. Decisions will be made by Wicklow County Arts Office and applicants will be contacted by the Arts Office shortly thereafter. If your organisation does not require funding please feel free to submit your event for inclusion in the programme until 12th August.
Guidelines and further information will soon be available at www.wicklow.ie under Other Services/ Arts Office. If you wish to receive an application or have any queries on the application process please contact Donna Carroll at wao@wicklowcoco.ie or 0404 20155.
