The Arts Council is administering the Markievicz bursaries scheme on my Department's behalf and I understand that the scheme will open to on-line applications shortly.
Awards will be made to up to five recipients under the scheme each year to a value of €20,000 per individual or group. Once awarded, the names and arts practices of the recipients will be published on my Department's website.
