Kilkenny artists invited to express interest in Arts Council peer panels membership

The Arts Council is currently inviting expressions of interest from Kilkenny artists and arts professionals interested in being part of their peer panels, which play a key role in decisions on funding applications.   

Every year, independent panels made up of artists and arts professionals assess a large volume of applications and make funding decisions that represent a substantial level of investment in the arts in Ireland.

The Arts Council are updating their long list of peer panelists for the first time in six years to enhance the breadth, depth, and diversity of the peer assessment process, so that the make-up of future panels reflects today’s arts landscape 

Equity, diversity and inclusion are central to this call, and The Arts Council welcomes applications from artists and arts professionals who reflect the diversity of people and communities in Ireland today, across different backgrounds, artforms, regions and lived experiences 

Moling Ryan, Director of the Arts Council, said:

“Peer assessment is central to how we support the arts in Ireland. These panels bring professional insight, lived experience and independent judgement to decisions that impact artists, organisations and communities nationwide. We are inviting artists and arts professionals to put themselves forward and help shape how public funding supports great art and meaningful access to it.”
