"Major Creative Project"

Maynooth University, Kildare County Council Arts Service, Music Generation Kildare, Music Generation Offaly and Music Generation Westmeath (Funding Partners), with support from the Arts Council, invite applications for a Major Creative Project to be delivered over a 12-month period, during the 2025-26 academic year. The call is open to established musical artists, broadly defined, including but not limited to performers (as soloist or as an ensemble), composers (any medium), sound designers, music producers, music/stage directors, songwriters, or combinations thereof. This is an innovative endeavour; we are very keen to hear how enthusiastic project-leaders will implement and deliver their proposed creative plan.

The successful proposal should include activities addressed to the following groups, represented by the different Funding Partners:

• Undergraduate and postgraduate university students in performance, composition and/or music technology;
• Children and young people aged 8-17;
• Wider communities in County Kildare.

Closing Date: 23:30hrs (local Irish time) on Sunday, 28th September 2025. Applications must be submitted by the closing date and time specified above. Any applications which are still in progress at the closing time on the specified closing date will be cancelled automatically by the system. Late applications will not be accepted.
