Open Call | Artist Documentation Bursary 2026 from Arts + Health
One bursary worth €4000 is available to an individual artist or group of artists working across any artform(s) to tell the story of an arts and health project they are delivering.
The bursary applies to projects across all arts practice areas (participatory arts, performance arts, environmental enhancement) in the Republic of Ireland.
The purpose of this award is to support professional artists working with healthcare communities to enhance their documentation practice. The bursary can be used to produce a short film / animation, audio work, publication or visual documentation about an arts and health project.
The artist documentation bursary aims to:
– Showcase arts and health practice to national audiences;
– Support artists to strengthen their documentation practice;
– Raise awareness around the impact of arts and health practice;
– Inspire artists, healthcare staff and health service users involved in arts and health projects.
An endorsement from the health or social care provider must be included with the documentation proposal.
