Artist Studios Organisational Grants

  • Artist Studios Organisational Grants 2025-2026

    Our funding is open to eligible organisations and groups that run artist studios in Belfast. These grants are for organisations which have struggled to secure funding from Belfast City Council through existing programmes and need some assistance to help stabilise and develop. We're holding an online information session about the grants on Wednesday 11 June 2025.

  • Grants available for 2025-2026

    The fund has £150,000 available and is a competitive grants process.

    You can apply for up to £10,000 to use towards specified developmental needs in a 12-month period. Organisations that accommodate 25 or more active artists can apply for a grant up to £20,000. For these applicants, they must meet additional eligibility criteria and supply a suitable business case.
