Arts and Culture Grant Scheme

In 2019, DCU established a pilot funding scheme to support the creativity of DCU staff and students in line with its strategic goal to ‘nurture creativity and culture across the University’. The scheme has a focus on encouraging arts and culture proposals that allow for engagement with the wider DCU community and communities in North Dublin. Since then, this scheme has resulted in a range of arts and culture projects that reflect a number of key objectives:

• To support outcomes that reflect DCU’s strategic goals.
• To create new opportunities that bring the artistic talents of DCU staff and students to a wider audience.
• To build stronger engagement between DCU and the locality.
• To increase student participation and appreciation of arts and culture.
• To encourage arts groups and individuals to ‘break the mould’ by trying out new approaches to creating and presenting their work.
