Go See Fund

Baboró is delighted to offer a small Go See Fund to support artists and creatives to travel within Ireland to see work for children. The fund is designed for those who make or wish to make work for children and are looking for inspiration, new approaches to presentation, etc.

To ensure this small fund can benefit as many individuals as possible, it will support the cost of event tickets, accommodation and travel within the island of Ireland only, up to a maximum of €125 per application. Valid travel costs include: bus or train tickets, petrol, parking (up to a maximum of €10), tolls. This fund cannot be used for sustenance or per diems.

How to Apply

If you wish to apply for this funding (maximum of €125), please outline in 1-2 pages:

Information about your practice
Details of the work you wish to see (inc. title, artist/company, age range of audience, and the venue/festival at which it will be presented)
Why you wish to see this particular piece of work
How you think seeing it will benefit your practice
A brief budget outlining the costs that the fund would cover

Please send completed applications to our Artist & Programme Coordinator at rachel@baboro.ie with the subject line 'Go See Fund Application'.

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Baboró Festival Access Fund

for Artists & Delegates

We recognise that ticket prices and travel costs are only some of the barriers artists and creatives face when attending cultural events--life comes with many challenges and needs are different for everyone. For our own festival, we want to minimise barriers artists may face when coming to the Baboró Festival.

The Baboró Festival Access Fund is for independent artists, freelancers and delegates so that they can more fully engage in the Festival. This fund can support access-related costs, including: child care costs, travel and/or tickets for a companion, accessible transport, etc.

Each artist can apply for up to a maximum of €150 to ensure this limited fund can benefit as many as possible. The funds will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, and must be requested before 3 October 2025.

How to Apply

To apply for this funding (maximum of €150), please submit the following via email to Rachel at rachel@baboro.ie with the subject line 'Festival Access Fund Application':

Your name, address, email, and a sentence or two about your practice and/or work.
Details of the events you wish to see at the Festival.
A brief budget outlining the costs that you need covered (estimates are completely acceptable).

The deadline for applications to support attendance at our upcoming Festival is Sunday, 5th October 2025.
