Louth County Council are delighted to announce that the hugely popular Culture Night will take place this year on Friday 19th September. Culture Night is a national initiative, celebrating culture, creativity and the arts and seeks to actively encourage people to engage in cultural activities in all forms.
Louth County Council Arts Service is inviting proposals from those eligible to avail of funding from the Culture Night Event Fund for 2025. Culture Night is particularly suited to venues seeking to encourage new audiences and organisations such as choirs, theatre companies or book clubs who could host an evening of novel or exciting activities designed to engage new members.
The event must take place after 4pm on Friday 19th September and be free of charge to the public. Louth County Council Arts Office can provide financial support for your event of up to a maximum of €1,200 and will include details of the event in our Culture Night publicity materials.
Events should respond to the national theme for Culture Night which is ‘One Night For All’. See https://culturenight.ie/ for full details.
We are particularly interested in projects that reflect the cultural richness of Louth and the diversity within local communities. Initiatives that specifically target the 18-35 age demographic and target the night time economy will also be looked on favourably.
For guidelines and details on how to apply for funding to support your event please email arts@louthcoco.ie . The closing date for applications is Wednesday 7th May and successful applicants will be notified by the end of May.
Culture Night is brought to you by The Arts Council in partnership with Louth County Council and cultural organisations throughout the county.
