Description
The Dublin region Local Authorities and Children and Young People’s Services Committees (CYPSC) are working in partnership to support early childhood arts practice and to increase access to quality arts experiences for children experiencing homelessness. The partnership invites applications from artists to develop and deliver early childhood arts residencies within homeless accommodation services across the four local authority administrative areas. Each residency will run from November 2026 to June 2027.

2) Support from the Local Authority and CYPSC partners and accommodation services.
3) Three facilitated peer-to-peer reflective learning sessions, estimated to be one half-day each, and covered within the budget allocation of each residency award.
