Fermanagh and Omagh District Council seeks expressions of interest for Culture Night 2021
27th July 2021
Fermanagh & Omagh District Council is seeking expressions of interest from community, arts, cultural, heritage, sports and other groups across the district who are keen to take part in this year’s Culture Night by organising a local event.
As part of this year’s event, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council will provide support to constituted groups across the district with up to £250 of financial support together with assistance with marketing and publicity.
Culture Night, which will take place this year on Friday 17 September 2021, is an annual all-island public event that celebrates culture, creativity and the arts. Applications are welcome from groups across the district and across a range of arts and cultural forms including music, dance, visual art, theatre, language, literature, sports, cultural traditions, film and crafts.
Culture Night sees arts and cultural organisations and venues of all shapes and sizes, including the National Cultural Institutions, extend their opening hours to allow for increased access to the public. Special and unique events and workshops are specifically programmed at participating locations and everything is available free of charge.
Culture Night has grown from a relatively small scale cultural event staged only in Dublin in 2006 to the significant national cultural event it now is, with some 400,000 people visiting museums, galleries, historic houses, artists’ studios and cultural centres across the island. The initiative has captured both the public imagination and the enthusiasm of artists and cultural organisations.
The closing date for expressions of interest in participating in culture night is 12 noon on Friday 20 August 2021.
