Twenty-one grants are to be allocated to a range of community groups, organisations and individuals from Creative Waterford funding. The successful applicants to the Creative Waterford Open Call 2021 scheme were notified of their grants at the end of April. Waterford City and County Council Culture Team manages this funding on behalf of Creative Ireland.

Katherine Collins, Creative Waterford Coordinator said “Creative Waterford received 67 applications for grants this year. The standard of applications has been exceptionally high.
