With Dublin Fringe Festival now underway for its 2023 programme we wish to remind everyone working on or off the stage as part of the festival; our supports at Minding Creative Minds are for you, all of you. One such event within the programme we are supporting is You’re Needy (sounds frustrating); Minding Creative Minds offers support to the creatives behind this production; the entire team involved in getting it to the stage and responsible for its run during Dublin Fringe Festival 2023. Information on how to make contact with MCM supports, if needed, will be visible within the event space.
For everyone involved in producing, running or managing an event during Culture Night 2023 or contributing in a creative manner; we would like to remind you our Minding Creative Minds supports are here for you, all of you.
The eighteenth edition of Culture Night will take place on Friday 22 September 2023, when doors will open later and special and unique events will be specifically programmed at participating locations and, thanks to the continued support of the Arts Council and Local Authorities across the island of Ireland, all activities will be available to the public free of charge.
