Levelling Access Artists Practice Bursary
Clare Arts Office has announced the Clare recipient of the Levelling Access Artists Practice Bursary as Graham Bulger, a musician from Miltown Malbay.
Graham will use the bursary to help complete his debut album.
The Arts Services of Clare County Council, Galway City Council and Mayo County Council announced the launch of the bursary in October 2024. The bursaries were open to professional artists with disabilities working in any artform and at any stage of their career, resident in Counties Clare, Mayo or Galway city. This follows on from the Levelling Access report undertaken by these partner local authorities in 2024 that explored arts and disability provision in these counties, profiling projects and programme pathways for disabled persons to access the arts.
Emerging from the report, with the support of the Arts Council, the bursary was developed to support professional artists with disabilities to develop their practice; create new work or develop an artistic project, with one award in each county of €5,000.
Each recipient of the bursary will have access to additional supports including a number of online meetups. These meetings will be facilitated and will provide an opportunity for networking and peer-to-peer learning. Alongside this, there will be a suite of soft supports available to the recipient, including information, advice, and signposting. This support, if required, can be availed of throughout the period covered by the bursary.
The Levelling Access Artists Practice Bursary is funded by the Arts Council.
