Funding History

Ealaín na Gaeltachta supports the development of the arts in the Gaeltacht through a range of funding schemes and strategic initiatives. Over the years, we have proudly funded hundreds of artists, projects, and organisations across all art forms – from visual art and music to dance, literature, theatre, and community-based arts.

Our funding schemes are designed to support both traditional and contemporary practice, with a strong focus on the Irish language and on sustaining vibrant, creative communities in the Gaeltacht.
