The Arts Council have announced the recipients of the 2022 Next Generation award.
The Next Generation bursaries are awarded to up and coming artists across all disciplines at an early but pivotal stage of their career. The award allows artists to buy time to develop their work and to be able to show their potential to advance and strengthen creative practice.
The successful recipients have demonstrated how the award and the financial investment at this particular time will have a transformative effect in bringing them to the next stage of their artistic development.
Arts Council Director, Maureen Kennelly said:
“I am really excited by the range and diversity of these young artists who have received these awards. These bursaries offer artists valuable time to cultivate their artistic voice, develop their practice and pursue their vision. I look forward to seeing the work of the Next Generation.”
