Creative Places Tuam Cultural Growth Fund 2026

The Cultural Growth Fund invites artists, creative practitioners, individuals and community groups to explore ideas, develop creative practice and share work that contributes to a vibrant and inclusive cultural landscape across Tuam.

The fund supports creative ideas, artistic practice and community-led creative activity across all artforms and disciplines. Ideas of all sizes and applications from both emerging and established practitioners are welcome.

The fund offers three strands of support, designed to meet ideas at different stages of development:

◆ Seed – up to €500 for early ideas and experimentation
◆ Taking Root – up to €3,000 to develop your practice
◆ Bloom – up to €1,000 to share your work with the public
Applicants must be living, working or actively engaged within Tuam or its surrounding areas, and demonstrate how their proposal will benefit Tuam and its communities.
