The aim of the scheme is to provide financial support to local and community groups and individuals, artistic and creative practitioners, event organisers and those involved in creative, cultural and heritage activities and projects, in order to encourage cultural participation throughout Kilkenny, and support the delivery of the Creative Ireland Kilkenny Culture & Creativity Strategy 2018-2022.

Speaking about the grant scheme, the Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council, Cllr. Andrew McGuinness, says “Kilkenny is renowned for culture and creativity, which we value it now more than ever, and I encourage people to get involved.”
