Announcement of the Successful Recipients of the Artists’ Support Scheme 2020

Fingal Arts Office are delighted to announce the successful recipients of the Artists' Support Scheme. A sum of €100,000 was allocated in the Fingal County Council 2020 budget to support payment of the Artists’ Support Scheme 2020.

The Arts Office invited artists from the Fingal administrative area to apply for funding. The closing date for the submission of applications for this funding opportunity was Friday 28 February.

The Arts Office recognises a level of flexibility and contingency will be required this year as a result of the Covid–19 pandemic and is prepared to allow for changes to original proposals within reason. Fingal County Council will honour the funding recommendations and will continue to invest, promote and value the role that art and artists play in the lives of the people of Fingal.

65 artists were successful in their application and have been awarded the following amounts which were approved at a recent Council meeting:
