Begin Together

Bank of Ireland Begin Together Arts Fund

The Bank of Ireland Begin Together Arts Fund, in partnership with Business to Arts, continues a long legacy of support for the Arts. We have committed a total of €1 million between 2020 and 2022 for projects across all art forms, funding artists to collaborate within their community and bring to life ideas that inspire us all.

The third round has now closed and applications will be judged over the summer. An announcement on successful grantees will be made in September.

The Fund supports or commissions artists and arts organisations to develop arts projects that engage the individuals, audiences and communities involved. All art forms are eligible to apply to the fund.

During the second round of the Arts Fund over €300,000 was distributed to 39 projects across the island of Ireland which are listed below.

One of the projects we’ve supported is the Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA), enabling them to continue to preserve and share the music, song and dance traditions of Ireland. Connecting the artists of today with the archives, our funding is helping to breathe new life into these art-forms for future generations to enjoy.
