Anonymous €200k donation delivers boost to Cork arts scene
Cork Arts Theatre on Carrolls Quay is establishing a Creative Empowerment Award Programme.
An anonymous donation of €200,000 to the Community Foundation for Ireland is giving emerging artists a boost despite the pandemic challenges.
The foundation was able to set up the Cork Arts Fund to support artists addressing social disadvantage or injustice. The projects, described as “innovative, ground-breaking, and imaginative” include 10 theatre productions, bursaries, and artists in residence programmes as well as exhibitions.
