International Arts
We support Irish artists and organisations to connect with global arts communities, and provide opportunities for practitioners and audiences to engage with international arts perspectives.

How we develop international arts
We provide a framework of supports for artists and arts organisations who operate at both national and international levels.
Our support provides opportunities for exchange, dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders based abroad and provides access to opportunities and resources that are available beyond national borders.
