This year, Cruinniú na nÓg arts festival will take place in Fr Burke Park in Galway’s Westend, and applications are now open for those interested in participating.
Galway City Council invites artists, creative practitioners, and youth groups to submit creative initiatives aimed at children and young people aged 0-18 years that conclude on 6 June with an exhibition, performance, or showcase in Fr Burke Park.
Some elements, such as workshops or rehearsals, may take place in local neighbourhoods in advance of the National Day, but the activity should conclude on Saturday, June 6.
Grants to support artists and other creative works for the festival will range from €500 – €3,000.
Cruinniú na nÓg is the national day of creativity for children and young people.
It celebrates and encourages children and young people’s participation in culture and creativity by providing free, accessible, activity-based creative action in their local areas.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday, April 7, at 4pm.
