Laois artist Ella de Búrca has been announced as one of the 31 recipients of the inaugural PLATFORM 31 bursary.
The national development scheme helps artists to develop their practice and test new ideas of collaboration, research, audience development, place-based arts and sharing their work.
Participating artists will receive an €8,000 bursary to invest in themselves and their practice, combined with participation in an advisory and developmental framework and a peer network.
The pilot scheme is envisioned as a platform for the participants to value their time, to showcase their work and their collaborations, sharing their learnings locally and nationally as a legacy of the project.
