The Kerry County Council Arts Office is inviting proposals, from professional creative practitioners, venues and festivals, for events for Cruinniú na nÓg 2023.
Cruinniú na nÓg is a national day of creativity for children and young people under 18 which is funded by Creative Ireland. This year it takes place on Saturday, June 10th. As the budget is limited, the arts office is especially seeking proposals which align to the feedback received from the online public consultation.
