Overview
The international programme for organisations has two funding schemes:
1) Professional Arts Abroad (minimum grant of £5,000)
- Professional arts organisations based in Northern Ireland, which can show both a credible track record of contributing to artistic activities here and a commitment to a continued artistic programme in Northern Ireland in the future.
2) Artists International Development Fund (Organisations) - £1,000 to £5,000
The programme is open to organisations in any artform who:
- Have received recognition for their work in Northern Ireland;
- Do not have extensive international experience;
- Whose work will benefit from launching better international networks - either artistically; or in terms of developing an audience for their work; and
- Who can demonstrate an interest in their work from an overseas partner/host
