Meet the Arts Council events will take place in arts venues around the country in January and early February, with one session also taking place online. 

At these sessions, you can talk to Arts Council staff about funding opportunities within artforms relevant to your practice. You will have an opportunity to ask questions, and staff members will be happy to provide advice and respond to specific queries on the funding schedule and proposed applications.

The Arts Participation team at the Arts Council support proposals from professional artists and arts organisations (working across all artforms) that collaborate artistically with individuals, groups and partners that are not arts professionals.  

For example, we support Artists working in areas such as community development, health, cultural diversity, creative ageing, disability and others. 

Arts Participation includes participatory, collaborative, socially engaged and community arts practices.  

See the Arts Participation section on the Arts Council website for more information about our work and funding opportunities available.  

The Arts Participation team is available if you have any queries, our contact details are below.
