Schools that have large-scale school building projects are provided with information on the Per Cent for Art Scheme.

The scheme provides an opportunity for collaboration between an artist and a local school community.

The records in relation to the nature of the works procured under the Scheme, including the details of the artist, are held at individual school level.

During the NDP period 2018 to date in excess of €4 million has been allocated to schools under the Per Cent for Art Scheme.

The table below outlines annual expenditure from 2018 to date.
