Future Screens NI funding partner The Arts Council NI and the Department for Communities NI have opened the Creative Individuals Recovery Programme (CIRP), a new £5 million funding programme to support individuals working in the arts & creative sectors retain valuable skills with grants up to £2,000. CIRP funding aims to support one-off costs that are incurred by individuals working within the creative economy, helping them to re-engage with, or maintain their creative practice. Funding should help individuals and artists sustain and build the professional and technical skills, which are so important to the entire creative ecosystem.
Closing: 12noon, 6 October. For more information follow the link here.
The Department for Communities is developing separate support funds for arts and culture organisations, including those whose purpose relates to heritage and indigenous languages, and further announcements for separate awards for D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists will be made soon.
