75 arts projects across NI to benefit from €2.4m of funding
More than €2.4 million has been awarded to creative arts projects across Northern Ireland.
Seventy-five organisations have been given the funding totalling €2,442,222 (£2,114,195) from the NI Arts Council’s National Lottery Project Funding, to support the development and creation of events through festivals, literature, drama, visual arts, music and community programming.
Roisin McDonough, chief executive of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, said: “Today’s National Lottery arts funding investment will have tremendous impact on rural and urban communities across Northern Ireland, with 75 awards made to a diverse range of arts organisations who will deliver exciting, innovative, high-quality, arts-based activities and events.
“Thanks to money raised for good causes, the last three decades of National Lottery funding has made an important contribution to the social, economic and cultural growth of Northern Ireland.
“This vital source of funding allows the Arts Council to support our core infrastructure of skilled arts organisations and also helps develop our creative individuals and artists, who in turn, deliver work across towns and cities all over Northern Ireland.
“We are making the arts more accessible to all. ”
The Arts Council said this year it had encouraged applications from rural areas and those which encouraged the involvement of under-represented artists and groups, such as minority ethnic communities, programmes which involved children and young people, older people, or people with disabilities.
