The Touring of Work Scheme 2025 -
Round 2 invites applications for proposals seeking funding to support the
touring of work across all artform and arts practice areas for tours taking place
in the Republic of Ireland starting from July - December 2025. Guidelines and application form
will follow soon.
Information clinic
We will host an information clinic at 11am on Thursday, 12 December. A recording of this session will be uploaded to the Arts Council YouTube channel.
Please register for the clinic here.
Please note, the Arts Council is currently reviewing the way we
fund touring and the parameters of this award are set to change. We consider
change to be an integral part of our role as the development agency for the
arts in Ireland. Changes to our decision-making and policy-making are informed
by data provided by the sector.
Recent changes we have made to the scheme:
- We have aligned the objectives and priorities of this award more
closely to the Arts Council strategy Making Great Art Work;
- Applications for tours planned throughout 2025 will be accepted;
- We have standardised the mandatory supporting material required
for all applicants – some exceptions remain, so please read this guidance
carefully;
- We have added a new application artform area (MDA / Arts
Participation / YPCE). Applicants with a particular focus on Arts Participation
or YPCE should select this as their primary artform area;
- We have aligned our assessment and decision-making processes to
follow Arts Council peer-panel procedure.
