Artist In the Community 2025
Wexford County Council is pleased to announce that 15 Communities were awarded funding in 2025 through the Artist In the Community Programme supporting 18 artists across a variety of artforms. This amounts to a total investment of €30,000 in our local communities.
The Artist in the Community Programme allows community groups who are interested in working on an arts project with an artist from our Artist In the Community Artists Panel. The maximum award is €3,000 in match-funding. The artist’s panel comprises of professional artists based in county Wexford who work in a wide variety of art forms and have experience of engaging with communities.
A further strand also supports collaboration between two or more artists on the Artist in the Community Panel with a community group on art projects up to a maximum fund of €5,000 per project.
