Are you a creative practitioner based in County Leitrim? Would you like to collaborate with another creative practitioner?

The Leitrim Design House CO-CREATE 2020 project, funded by Creative Ireland, offers a bursary which will support collaborative partnerships in the development of new concepts or products. Collaborative partnerships can be formed from a wide selection within the creative sector e.g. craft makers, designers, visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, composers, film makers, architects, choreographers.

All applicants must be established or emerging professional practitioners in their chosen field and must be based in County Leitrim. We welcome both preformed partnerships and those looking for a collaborator and while we encourage partnerships to come together organically, the Leitrim Design House will act as intermediary for those seeking possible partners.

The project was developed in order to:
– Support the professional development of the creative sector in County Leitrim with a particular emphasis on the craft sector.
– Support the development of new work and new ideas.
– Stimulate innovation via a collaborative process.
– Encourage exploration of alternative mediums and ways of thinking.
– Explore cross-disciplinary opportunities.
– Seed the development of new ideas that may be made into products in the future.

Please note there are two application routes:
– Joint application from two applicants
– Individual application if you are interested in participating but haven’t yet identified a partner.
