A mini arts fund, personalised to you and your practice.

As we embrace our 30 years, we are celebrating the ways in which we have been able to establish and support a vibrant network of artists and practitioner skill-sharing, resource building and collaboration.

Is there something that would help further your practice and experience as an artist? If so, we want to help. Through the short application form in our bio, outline a resource you would benefit from, its relation to your practice and how Catalyst can support your development. As being an artist looks different for everyone, varying from individual to individual, what you apply to Toolbox for is completely up to you. To help with your application, here are some examples of things you could use Toolbox for:

🛠️ Space to document your work
🛠️ Equipment rental
🛠️ Mentoring (any discipline)
🛠️ Workshops
🛠️ Training
🛠️ Short term memberships/residencies
🛠️ A critical session

We’re a small team working with a restricted budget, and whilst we would love to offer larger and more long term assistance, the aim of this project is to support the needs of our community where we can.

This is an opportunity for artists of all disciplines based in the North of Ireland.

Applications close midnight on the Friday 1st of March, successful applicants will be contacted the following week. If you have any questions or access needs regarding your application, please send us an email at catalystarts@gmail.com
