We facilitate transformative artist bursaries enabling professional or practice development at pivotal moments in an artist’s career.

Each year we run a bursary programme through our annual Business to Arts Awards that provides a total of €25,000 to artists and arts organisations.

Since 2008, the Jim McNaughton/TileStyle €10,000 Artist’s Bursary has supported musicians, playwrights, theatre makers, poets, and visual artists amongst others, to develop their practice or bring a creative project to fruition.

The Accenture €10,000 Digital Innovation in Art Bursary was launched in 2022, with the aim of supporting an emerging artist whose work is created digitally to deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity.

Both the Jim McNaughton/TileStyle €10,000 Artist’s Bursary and the Accenture €10,000 Digital Innovation in Art Bursary, can be applied to directly during the application period for the annual Business to Arts Awards.
