Artists in Co Limerick have until 5pm on Wednesday, September 8 to submit their application online to apply for project funding from the new ESB Brighter Future Arts Fund, in partnership with Business to Arts.

The €250,000 fund is open to artists working with organisations on creative ideas that will engage the public in a positive way around the energy transition.

These artworks and arts projects can be in any art form that takes place on the island of Ireland including visual arts, spoken word, music, theatre and much more. Potential project themes include environmental sustainability, engaging communities around climate change, sustainable development goals and imagining what a brighter future might look like.
