The Trustees of the Golden Fleece Award invite applications for the 2024 Award.

The Golden Fleece Award provides funding for artists working in all forms of visual, craft and applied arts. It is the largest prize open to both artists and makers in Ireland, and it aims to provide resources for creative practitioners to innovate and develop their work at a critical point in their careers. Emerging, mid-career, and established artists and makers currently resident in or originally from the island of Ireland are eligible to apply.

The total prize fund for the 2024 Golden Fleece Award will be in the region of €30,000. From this, two main awards worth €10,000 each will be made, one in each category: Visual Art, and Craft + Applied Art.

Applications must be made via the Online Application Form on the Golden Fleece Award’s website before the deadline: 5pm, Friday 24 November 2023.

There is no entry fee. Shortlisted applicants will be notified in February 2024, and award recipients announced in March 2024.
