Arts and culture organisations to receive over €200,000

The government has announced €228,065 in capital grants for arts and culture organisations across Ireland.

The funding will be shared between eight organisations to help upgrade and improve their facilities.

The grants are being provided through Stream E of the Culture Capital Scheme, which is part of a wider €1.4 million investment programme aimed at supporting arts and cultural centres around the country.

Speaking about the funding, Minister O’Donovan said the Government recognises the importance of culture and the arts in society.

“Culture and the arts provide opportunities for education, creativity and community engagement,” he said. “Investing in arts and culture facilities helps make the arts more accessible in local communities and supports these centres for future generations.”

Here is the full list of the eight organisations:

• Black Church Print Studio in Dublin
• Blue Teapot Theatre Company in Galway
