Short Cuts Digital Commissions | 2022

Short Cuts was a small-scale digital commission that prioritised artists who had not yet entered the world of arts application writing and funding streams. This opportunity also provided the artists with mentorship from the Head of Project Potential, Cathy Coughlan, and support around funding opportunities, planning and career development.

The artists received two half days of one-to-one mentorship, €1500 towards developing a new work and the opportunity to show their work to a wider audience via Project’s online platforms. 

Selected Artists

He wants it to spark discussion.
