Arts projects provide an impetus for collaboration, knowledge-sharing and greater understanding, allowing people of all ages and backgrounds to participate and have their voices heard.

Many organisations in the arts sector have deep expertise in connecting with marginalised communities, or working collaboratively within a community over long periods of time. We aim to platform this socially-engaged practise and directly connect our corporate network to best practice and artists working in this area.

We have seen great results from embedding arts practitioners directly within communities, targeted grant funding to community arts organisations, and public realm commissions that connect artists with the local community.

Some of our community-related projects include Walkers Photographer-in-Residence, the Bank of Ireland Begin Together Arts Fund, and the A&L Goodbody Writer-in-Residence.
