This year 2015 … The planned Photography Festival grant application to the Arts Council was turned down….boo-hoo. We hope to have it resurface in 2016
We are now applying for funding to the Kerry County Council – so fingers crossed everyone. If you know any business who would sponsor the event PLEASE let us know A.S.A.P, you will have FREE access to all the workshops etc if your tip pays off and the festival event goes ahead.
We recieve NO FUNDING, make NO PROFIT, your support is urgently needed to develop the Reserve. Your donation will be acknowledged and – if you request – you will be included on our emailing list with up-dates on how the reserve is progressing. THANK YOU for caring, please share. Read more here
