Building on the success of last year’s pilot scheme, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland is encouraging artists to apply for its Artists Career Enhancement Programme, which opened on Monday. The programme supports individual artists to deliver new creative work and further their professional career.
The Artists Career Enhancement Programme (ACES) was devised to provide career developmental opportunities for artists working in literature, music, visual, performing and participatory arts.
In addition to receiving a bursary of up to £5,000 each, artists will be partnered with a professional arts organisation to receive mentoring and development support to help them deliver original, challenging and innovative work.
