Wexford Artists’ Workspace Scheme Open Call 2025
Wexford County Council Arts Office are delighted to announce an open call to invite artists to apply for an Artists’ Workspace Scheme.
This scheme offers funding to support professional artists, in all artforms, to access suitable and flexible workspaces to develop their arts practices. The workspaces must accommodate at least two professional artists or an artist collective of two or more artists who are proposing to share resources for the benefit of their arts practices.
The aim of this new scheme is to support artists to access suitable workspaces to develop their arts practices, that will also feed into the regeneration of our towns and villages. It sits within the Wexford County Arts Plan and the Arts Councils Strategic Plans to develop supportive working environments for artists across artforms.
Grants
Grants will be in the region of €3,000 per application and must accommodate at least two artists sharing a building or part of a building for their workspaces.
Grants of up to €5,000 may be awarded to applications involving three or more artists taking a lease on a building.
This scheme is countywide, and we encourage applications from artists throughout the county in the five municipal Districts of Gorey/Kilmuckridge, New Ross, Enniscorthy, Wexford and Rosslare. We also encourage applications that feed into town centre regeneration plans.
