The Arts Council will be hosting an online clinic for Festival organisations on Thursday the 9th of February at 3:15pm which is intended to provide an overview of the Commissions Award. 

The purpose of the Commissions Award is to enable the commissioning of new work from freelance artists.

The Commissions Award is available in Dance, Music, Opera, Traditional Arts, Festivals and Young People, Children and Education. The clinic will cover the application process, purpose and priorities of the award and assessment process. This clinic is suitable festivals seeking to commission.

A Zoom link will be circulated to attendees prior to the session.
