The Carlow Visual Centre for Contemporary Art project received funding of €3.17 million from my Department's ACCESS programme. The funding was a contribution towards the construction of a new custom built visual arts centre for large scale artworks and studio space for artists. The project has received critical acclaim and won the RIAI's award for Best Cultural Building, 2010. The total project cost was €18 million. The balance of the funding came from Carlow County Council and fundraising through private sources.
