My Department has no specific grant scheme to provide funding to local authorities in respect of arts related projects. However, under the "Per Cent for Art Scheme" local authorities may utilise up to 1% of construction costs, in relation to capital construction projects, subject to a maximum of €64,000, for the purpose of carrying out art projects that would help to enhance the quality of the environment.
