ROSCOMMON COUNTY COUNCIL
FUNDING UNDER PILLAR TWO OF CREATIVE IRELAND PROGRAMME
‘ENABLING CREATIVITY IN EVERY COMMUNITY’
The Creative Ireland Programme is a culture-based programme designed to promote individual,
community and national wellbeing. The core proposition is that participation in cultural activity drives
personal and collective creativity, with significant implications for individual and societal wellbeing and
achievement.
Funding has been allocated from the Department of Arts Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
and the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government under Pillar 2 of the
Creative Ireland Programme to support awareness of the Programme and allow for the implementation
of Roscommon County Council’s Culture and Creativity Action Plan in 2017.
This fund is open to not-for-profit organisations, local community groups, arts, heritage and cultural
groups, venues and all those involved in the culture and creative sectors. Applications by individuals must
be in partnership with a community, cultural or heritage group. Funding may only be used to support
events/projects that focus on cultural activity involving the arts, creative industries, heritage and the
Irish language.
Application forms and full particulars may be obtained from Corporate Services, Roscommon County
Council, Áras an Chontae, Roscommon F42 VR98 or corporateservices@roscommoncoco.ie or visit
