Provide Supports to the Cultural and Creative Sector
Project Description
Macnas, in collaboration with Galway Culture Company, is offering bursaries of up to €3000 to individual creative practitioners from Galway City and County to support career development pathways with European partners.
Bursaries will support travel to and learning from artists and cultural partners across Europe. This is an opportunity to work closely with and learn from highly skilled artists and professionals.
The bursaries should be spent on the following goals:
- to explore: to conduct creative artistic research, to investigate, inspire and work on a specific theme or a new concept
- to learn: to enhance the participants’ competences and skills through non-formal learning or collaboration with a specialist
- to connect: to develop a professional network, to strengthen the participants’ professional development.
