Galway City Council has awarded grants totalling €400,000 to 58 arts organisations in the city for 2023.
The grants to the arts organisations will help keep them in business, reward them for the great work achieved on and offline, and assist them in developing programmes in the future.
The Council agreed to make the full arts budget available to arts organisations, artists and arts workers in the city.
Galway City Council said that it values the powerful projects and programmes delivered right throughout the city in participation, access and diversity.
