It is part of a national €17.2m investment announced today by Minister for Culture, Communications, and Sport Patrick O’Donovan.

Four other organisations, Achill Heinrich Boll Association, Custom House Studios Ltd, The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, and Westport Jazz, also received funding – bringing the total amount of funding given to organisations in the county to over €300,000.
