The deadline for submissions is 17th June 2023

Culture night will take place on Friday 22nd September 2023 from 4pm until late and Kildare County Council is currently seeking expressions of interest to participate.

The Arts Service has announced a call-out for both artists and the wider community to get involved with their own Culture Night projects or events this September.

Projects that reflect the cultural richness of Kildare and the diversity of all communities living in the county, and initiatives that specifically engage the 18-35 demographic are of particular interest.

The council has said it is committed to projects that pay the Artist and those that consider equality, inclusion, accessibility and diversity.

Applications from new participants who are representative of all Kildare’s communities are particularly welcome.

To request a registration form or for any other Culture Night enquiries, please contact Culture Night Kildare Coordinator, Sheena Malone at culturenightkildare @gmail.com, or phone 045 906102.

The deadline to submit your project/event for the County Kildare Culture Night programme is Friday 17th June 2023, 5pm.

Applicants will be notified of decisions during the week starting Monday, 3rd July.

Culture Night is brought to you by the Arts Council / An Comhairle Ealaíon, in partnership with local authorities and cultural organisations throughout the island of Ireland.
