Artists’ Open Call Commemorations Bursary 2025

Artists’ Open Call 

Commemorations Bursary 2025

 

Closing date for applications – 9 June 2025, 4p.m.

 

Wexford County Council are delighted to announce the open call for applications for two Artist Bursaries focused on the themes of commemoration and funded through the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media. 

These artist bursaries will offer the opportunity to support and invest in new work developed by a professional artist in any art forms based in County Wexford. 

There are two bursaries for €4,000 and they will be awarded to artists addressing the broad theme of commemoration. This should be informed by the period of Irish history which was commemorated in the recent Decade of Centenaries Programme (2012-2023) as well as the post-civil war years. Applications are open to artists working in all artforms such as, but not limited to, literature, film, music, drama, visual arts, or artists working in a combination of art forms.

The aim of these new works is to respond with sensitivity to the historical context of Wexford and promote a deeper understanding of the significant historical events of this period. The work should also encourage reflection today about the multiple identities, traditions and perspectives that are part of the overall Irish historical experience. 

 

For full guidelines please see: Commemorations Guidelines 2025
