Open Call | Artist Collaboration Award from Longford County Council

Requirements and notes:
The programme is open to collaborations between three professional artists.
Collaborations must include at least two artists who ordinarily base their practice in Longford. A third artist may be from outside the county. However, where applications are assessed in terms of benefit to artists, it is the benefit of those artists ordinarily basing their practice in County Longford that is relevant.
A key purpose of the programme is to support groups of artists to make work for presentation. This is assessed on the artistic quality and innovation of opportunities for Longford audiences to experience unique professional arts events. The quality and extent of opportunities to promote Longford arts nationally and internationally is also considered but as part of ‘benefit to artists’.
The activity for which the collaboration wishes to apply must be completed before 31 March 2027.

Completed application forms must be accompanied by the following:

C.V.s of all artists
images/recordings etc. of previous work
details/supplementary information about the subject of the application.
Applications are assessed under the following criteria by an independent external expert panel:

Track record of collaborative members and proven commitment to high quality arts practice, particularly as evidenced in this activity, and where applicable, as evidenced in the outcomes arising from previous supports provided by local / national arts organisations.
Collaboration proposal idea
Relevance and timeliness of proposal to the development of artists’ practice
Proposal feasibility
Cultural benefit for County Longford
