Baboró has a long history of mentoring and supporting artists, creatives and educators who are exploring and developing theatre, dance, music and visual art for young audiences, or are interested in doing so.
Whether you are an emerging artist, a student or an established artist interested in making work for children, our GROW programme is here to support your development.
Festival Mentoring
Baboró's Festival Mentoring is open to artists and creatives (writers, producers, directors, choreographers, designers) at any stage of their career wishing to develop work for children and young people.
Áras Éanna Residency
Baboró, in partnership with Áras Éanna Arts Centre, offers an annual two-week residency on Inis Oírr for an artist interested in creating performance for young audiences, ideally as Gaeilge.
Go See Fund
Baboró offers a small fund to support artists and creatives who make, or wish to make work for children, to travel within Ireland to see theatre work for children.
Seasonal Artist Gatherings
Each season, Baboró hosts an artist gathering for creatives, arts workers and anyone else interested in the Art for Young Audiences sector in Ireland to connect, share experiences, and learn more about the industry and best practice.
