Axis Artist Bursaries

Since 2004, Axis has worked to develop and produce new writing and theatre making locally, nationally, and internationally, while also facilitating the growth of hundreds of artists through our many programmes and initiatives. We’re proud to be a cultural hub on the Northside of Dublin, where artists and the public gather to encounter new work and new ideas. 

Our Axis Bursary programmes aim to create opportunities for artists at all stages of their career and from all backgrounds to explore and develop new ideas through: 

• financial support 

• development space 

• dramaturgical guidance 

• engagement with fellow artists 

•  artist led sessions to support sustainability in practice 

The Axis Bursary programmes offer artists the chance to make time for their work, to get feedback, to access the facilities of the building, and to build their professional network. It is an investment in process, and in community, and is aimed at artists who are able to dedicate time and energy to both. Bursaries cannot be used to fund training, accommodation, equipment purchase, or productions. 

Axis Artist Bursaries are funding by the Arts Council, Dublin City Council and Foras Na Gaelige.
