The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival Creativity Bursaries - Winners
The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival is delighted to announce the winners of its three Creative Bursaries. These were set up in response to Covid-19 and the devastating impact it has had on the arts in Northern Ireland. The three bursaries – for Theatre, Writing and Music – will support and encourage new work by writers, musicians and theatre practitioners based in Northern Ireland. The Winners will get to showcase their new work at the 21st Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.
