Wicklow County Arts Office established its Funding Schemes to support artists, festivals, communities, arts participation and art form development. These initiatives are integral to Wicklow County Council’s broader efforts to encourage excellence in the arts and enhance community involvement in artistic endeavours across the county.

This year Wicklow County Arts Office will be accepting applications under 3 schemes:

• Artist Award Scheme
• Artist & Community Collaboration Award Scheme
• Arts Festival Award Scheme

The purpose of the Funding Schemes is to support the programming and development of Artists and Communities in County Wicklow. It is the intention that these awards will fund, in full or in part, a particular aspect of an Artist, Festival, and Community project, development plan or programme for 2027.

An online funding clinic will be held on Thursday 22nd October 2026 at 10am, facilitated by the Wicklow Arts Office team. To sign up, please click here.
