Arts Grants and Bursary Awards 2025

Join us for an exhibition walkthrough of Snáithe with artist Sinéad Ní Mhaonaigh and curator Margarita Cappock

Dublin City Council’s Creative Hubs Programme, an initiative of Dublin City Arts Office and Libraries, co-ordinated by The Ark, invites proposals from experienced producing companies – organisations, venues or festivals - to work with us in partnership to produce and present new theatre or dance performance work for children (2 to 12 yrs) in Dublin City’s Creative Hub Libraries during 2026

Dublin City Council is delighted to announce that applications for the 2026 Arts Grants and Awards are now open.

Join us this Friday from 6–9pm for an evening of art, play, and conversation.

Our current exhibiting artist, Aaron Sunderland Carey, presents his solo show:
Nach Cuma? Who Cares? The exhibition will remain open late for the evening.

At 7pm, Aaron will host a special game of Jenga with discussion prompts, joined by artists and researchers John Bissett, Thais Muniz, and NAMACO (Han Hogan and Donal Fullam). Together, they’ll explore themes from Aaron’s work—class, race, and housing inviting the audience to listen, reflect, and take part in the conversation.

Come for the games, stay for the chats.
