Pavilion Theatre Patron Donation Artist Bursaries 2016

Following on from the success of our 2015 Bursary Awards, Pavilion Theatre is delighted to announce another round of artist bursaries for 2016. These awards are made possible by the voluntary donations of generous Pavilion patrons booking their tickets online at paviliontheatre.ie. Over the two and a half years, these online donations are allocated to a special artist fund to enable the creation of new work and the development of artists.

 

We are inviting artists based in Ireland and Northern Ireland to propose projects for consideration – individuals, companies or collectives from all performance disciplines and at all stages of their careers. A number of bursaries will be awarded to successful applicants, to a maximum of €5,000 per bursary (from a total fund of €15,000). Proposals are welcome which seek support for performance projects of all types and at all stages of development, whether the work is in initial phases of research or indeed, on the cusp of production.

 

With the generosity of our patrons, Pavilion is committed to supporting and building relationships with artists, enabling them to create new work and develop their careers. With the organisation and its patrons investing in the work, recipients of bursaries may be invited to premiere the work on the Pavilion stage, or include the theatre on future tours.

 

Applications are now open, and will be accepted until 5pm on Friday 8 January 2016.

The application form can be downloaded here.

All queries should be directed to Pavilion Operations Manager Niall O’Connell: niall@paviliontheatre.ie
