On Tuesday 20th October, Create will host an information event for artists in relation to the 2020 AIC Scheme Bursary: Collaborative Arts and Human Rights. This bursary, offered in partnership with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, closes for applications on the 9th November.

In this information session Áine Crowley, Programme Manager, Arts and Engagement, will outline the Bursary, answering any questions you might have about making an application. She will be joined by Doireann Ansbro, Senior Research and Policy Officer at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

The focus of discussion will frame the context of this Bursary, the application process and how a Bursary could help facilitate and support experiment, research and professional development. Aisling Byrne, previous Bursary recipient (Collaborative Arts and Theatre, 2019), will speak to her experience and the role the Bursary has played in the development of her practice.
