The Young Curators Venue Network, with the support of the Arts Council, have collaborated on a young curators initiative across all seven venues in the network since 2021.
We are now seeking a panel of innovative and ambitious young people for our fifth Young Curators Programme, which will run from July 2025 to October 2026.
This is an opportunity to put your stamp on a programme of events for young people in your venue and nationwide, and to work with venue managers and fellow curators to create an exciting programme of events across any art-form, from theatre, music and dance, to film, visual arts and everything in between!
Applicants can indicate the venue in the network that they are most interested to work with. The seven network partners are An Grianán Theatre (Letterkenny), Backstage (Longford), Dunamaise (Port Laoise), Glór (Ennis), The Lime Tree (Limerick), Siamsa Tíre (Tralee), Town Hall Theatre (Galway). You do not have to have to live near or be from your preferred venue as much of the work is remote, but a specific programme interest or geographical connection is encouraged. We will do our best to match successful curators with one of their preferred venues, but cannot guarantee this.
Please fill in the form below and tell us a bit about yourself. Any questions about the application can be sent to the Young Curators Network Mentor, Maisie Lee at lee.maisie@gmail.com
Please note the deadline for application is Thursday 19th June, 5pm
