A new €200,000 fund is being made available to arts projects in Cork.
The Community Foundation for Ireland says the money has been donated by a private donor with a passion for the arts.
The group says between one and three major projects will be supported via the grant.
Eligable projects include community outreach arts programmes, initiatives giving a voice to marginalised groups or issues and individuals or groups that require bursary funding to support new artistic work.
Expressions of interest are being accepted up to the 19th of this month and more information is available on communityfoundation.ie
