Purpose and priorities of the award:
The Artist in the Community Bursary Award 2020: Collaborative Arts and Cultural Diversity, offered in partnership with the Irish Refugee Council, specifically aims to support individual professional artists from a minority ethnic or migrant background working in collaborative socially engaged arts practice.

The purpose of the award is to support and nurture professional arts practice; it is specifically aimed at an artist with a track record of working collaboratively with communities of place or interest. The bursary of €10,000 provides the selected artist with time and resources to carry out research and to reflect on their practice. More particularly, it allows the artist to consider key questions associated with human rights using collaborative methodologies.

It is expected that the successful applicant will share the learning arising from the bursary with the wider collaborative arts and cultural diversity sector. Create will work in partnership with the Irish Refugee Council in providing an information session and on the selection process.
