CLOSING DATE PENDING FOR O’REGAN ARTS BURSARY €5000

Applicants for the annual Ted & Mary O’Regan Arts Bursary are reminded that the closing date for submissions is May 29^th 2012.

The Bursary, valued at up to €5,000 was inaugurated in 2005 to honour the memory of one of Waterford’s best loved and respected couples. The purpose of the Award is to assist an individual or individuals, either from or with a strong connection to Waterford City or County, to pursue and develop their chosen arts discipline. Applicants should note that the criteria for the Bursary are open and flexible and that people of all ages may apply. The Award will aim to fill the financial gap which prohibits an arts worker or arts student of any age or any arts discipline achieving their artistic goal.

The Bursary is funded by a combination of local arts organizations, statutory agencies and by individual contributions from friends, associates and family of the late Ted and Mary O’Regan including the Arts Office of Waterford County Council.
