arts council ni individuals emergency resilience programme

I am so grateful to be a recipient of the Individuals Emergency Resilience Programme from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.

Few sectors, if any, have been hit as hard by the covid-19 response as the arts and entertainments industry. Many of us have lost more than a year’s worth of work. If it weren’t for funds like this, many would have to completely give up. During the lockdown, artists and their facilitators were the people funnelling happiness directly into your soul, and this programme will allow that to continue for a lot of us for the mean time.

For me, this fund will allow me to pick up on projects that had come to a standstill, replace the investment in my facilities that would normally have been funded by income, and most importantly, keep the lights on.

We’re still going - we’ve had to make some changes to our usual workflow in order to facilitate production with relation to social distancing, but I’m here and I’m open for business. If I can help with anything at all, please get in touch.

Keep writing, keep creating, keep working
