Description:

The ISACS Network is extremely excited to announce a new multi-annual, artist development platform in partnership with Earagail Arts Festival, Cairde Sligo Arts Festival and Irish Aerial Dance Festival. Supported by Arts Council Ireland. This new national partnership will offer an artistic and sectoral mentoring programme for emerging aerial dance and circus artists via an open call residency – delivered by internationally recognized street arts, aerialists, circus and spectacle performers.

Jumpstart! will create opportunities to develop the street arts, circus and spectacle artforms by encouraging established artists to nurture emerging aerial artists and share their legacy, enrich and expand the artistic ambition and capacity of mid-career artists, grow and diversify audiences and deepen public engagement.
