The Tipperary Creative Ireland grant schemes 2025 are now closed forapplications.

The Creative Ireland programme is a culture based programme which was created in 2017 following on from the hugely successful  ‘Ireland 2016’ initiative which celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising. The vision of the Creative Ireland Programme 2023 - 2027 is to mainstream culture and creativity in the life of the nation so that individually and collectively, in our personal lives and in our institutions, we can realise our full creative potential thereby promoting individual, community and national wellbeing.

The Strategic Priorities for the Tipperary Creative Ireland programme 2023 - 2027 are:

1. Our Peoples Creativity - to nurture culture & creativity across the county, foster relationships between creative practitioners & communities, provide opportunity for creative engagement & promote inclusivity in access to participation in cultural activity.

    

2. Our Creative Economy - the key goal of this priority is to support cultural & creative activities which have an economic impact e.g. our creative industries. We welcome applications which may feature fashion, design, digital gaming, crafts etc

    

3. Our Creative Place - a sense of place is central to our priorities, in terms of knowing our culture, landscape and environment which connects spaces, places and people. We welcome applications from archaeologists, heritage experts, historians, archivists and creatives which focus on our culture and heritage. 

    

4. Creative Climate Action – to focus on projects which have a climate action element to collectively address these issues.

The Tipperary Culture and Creativity Strategy 2023–2027 has been published. Over the past five years the Creative Ireland programme has supported groups and organisations right across the county in activating and supporting creativity in our communities.

This strategy allows our Tipperary County Council to look broadly at creative endeavour and community and identifies strategic priorities for the coming years. Tipperary County Council looks forward to the collaborations and initiatives that will evolve throughout this process and to seeing the implementation of the plan over the next five years
