Cruinniú na nÓg is the National Day of Creativity for children and young people in Ireland, developed by Creative Ireland. To celebrate Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has partnered with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Children and Young People’s Services Committee, the My Project and Springboard Family Support Services to offer an artist/s a commission to create new work for Cruinniú na nÓg 2025. This opportunity is funded by Creative Ireland and supported by the partners.
This commission is open to applications from professional artists who create art for and with children from seven to ten years.
This commission is to support the development of new artwork for children to experience. The work will be created with children and staff from ‘My Project’ and ‘Springboard’ (details about these family support services is below). The children, aged seven to ten, and support staff will work with the selected artist/s to develop the commission from early November 2024 to May 2025. The outcome or process will include a local event for the wider families/communities of the participating children to celebrate their creativity. The commission will then end in an opportunity for children in the County to enjoy as part of Cruinniú na nÓg in June 2025 (date to be confirmed); this may take place in a community centre, library or other suitable setting in the County with support from the Local Authority to achieve this.
What does this Commission offer?
·      €23,000 (inclusive)
·      Opportunity to create art with, and for, children from seven to ten years of age.

From workshops to panel discussions, your event can play a key role in making this year’s Irish Design Week truly special. This year’s theme is Imagination for Opportunity. Funding is available for selected events that are looking to be part of the story.
