Creative Europe Desk Ireland - Culture Office presents Creative Europe Pathways at Baboró International Arts Festival for Children on Tuesday 14th October. This will be an information clinic for artists, arts organisations, and creative sectors that will outline Creative Europe funding opportunities.
Baboró International Arts Festival for Children is dedicated to children and families. The festival celebrates children as audience and artists. It features a curated programme of high quality, engaging, provoking work from the best makers around the world and around the country.
Creative Europe Pathways | Funding Opportunities
Under Creative Europe Culture, a popular scheme is the Culture Moves Europe mobility grant for artists willing to undertake a project or residency in another EU country. European Cooperation Projects is for small to large cultural organisations who wish to team up with European partners on a project.
Jules Ní Chonchobhair, head of MEDIA Office Galway, will outline funding and professional training opportunities available from Creative Europe MEDIA. Funding is available to develop new projects in TV, film, video gaming and immersive content, to grow audiences for European content, and support skills and talent development.
Guest Speaker | Agustina Taborda
The guest speaker will be artist, Augustina Taborda who is a recent recipient of Culture Moves Europe funding.
Augustina is an Argentinian musician based in Galway, Ireland. Her main instrument is the bandoneón, deeply rooted in Argentine folk and tango traditions, which has shaped much of her musical journey. She performed in tango groups and orchestras including Vito Sputnik, Duelo Criollo, Quinteto Gabriel de Pedro, Orquesta de Señoritas, and Papas C.
Beyond tango, she has explored the bandoneón in other genres, collaborating with artists and projects such as Rodney Owl, Bajomundo, Jamie Toomey, Mila Maia, Poca y Agus, The Curly Organ, Treo Ensemble, Baile an Salsa, the Donegal Chamber Orchestra, and the Galway Traditional Orchestra. She also regularly composes and improvises piano music for silent films at Silent Cinema Galway. In recent years she has incorporated keys and electronic instruments into her practice, resulting in her solo album I bhfad ar shiúl (2020) and the collaborative project Por Mercurio (2022) with DJ/composer Ana Helder and bassist Valentín Prieto.
Attendance is free but please register on the Baboró portal to reserve a place in the Mick Lally Theatre for the event and reception.
