dlr Arts Grants Scheme
Grants are available annually to provide financial assistance to individual artists, arts groups and arts organisations engaged in arts projects or events at local or county level and to support the professional development and arts practice of individual artists.
We also fund Community Arts Grants and Arts Access Grants for Older People. These are available to support local arts activities and projects with services and community groups throughout the County.
For help or advice on these two grants please contact Máire in the Arts Office. Email: mdavey@dlrcoco.ie or by phone (01) 236 2756.

Application online portal
All grants are now processed through an online portal called Submit. To use the portal you will need to set up a profile before applying for a grant. This profile will be used for all your future applications with dlr. If you are applying as a group please make sure that the email address being used is accessible to more than one member. This ensures that if there are any changes to staffing or members leaving, the profile/account can still be accessed by the group.
If you have any questions regarding the grant process please contact cbrown@dlrcoco.ie or arts@dlrcoco.ie
