Just reminding any Galway-based writers, artists etc out there, the deadline for this year's bursary applications to Galway City Council is coming up on Friday (17 June). Just getting mine together. They want a lot of detail, including an artistic CV, information on upcoming projects and projects you've been involved in over the last few years, as well as copies of publications you've been included in, proof of address, manuscript samples of work and all that. It can take time to get it all together, so plan ahead. The maximum award for any individual artist is currently 1,500 euro, which would be a nice aid in helping any writer, director or visual artist realise their goals. It's great that we have this opportunity, so why not apply. Here's the link: http://www.galwaycity.ie/AllServices/ArtsandCulture/Forms/
Best of luck to anyone applying (and I'm hoping some luck comes my way).
