Arts Council: Festival Advisor & Assessment Services – Call for Tenders

Call For Tenders Festival Advisor and Assessment Services for the regions:

Connacht and Munster (2024/17)

Ulster and Leinster (2024/18)

The Arts Council is calling for tenders for the provision of advice and assessment services in festivals and events to cover the provincial areas of Connacht and Munster and separately Ulster and Leinster.

The Arts Council has a strategic responsibility for developing arts festivals in Ireland. Festivals are key producers and presenters of the arts and are critical to engaging large and diverse audiences. In this regard the Arts Council provides financial and developmental supports to a range of arts festival models.

We now require the services of a single service provider, with suitable experiences and qualified resources, to provide: high quality assessment services, advisory and critical evaluation services and policy development services for festival and events taking place in Connacht and Munster and separately in Ulster and Leinster.

The Adviser for Festivals and Events will be able to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of and commitment to the art practice of festivals and festival making. They will understand how the work of the Arts Council seeks to balance the imperative to fulfil its remit to promote and develop the arts within the context of the broader landscape of Festivals and events and the limitations of the available resources.
