Open to makers across Ireland and Irish-born artists abroad, the Awards support creatives at all career stages. With two distinct categories—Emerging and Established—entries will be assessed by a panel of international craft experts.
This year’s enhanced structure follows sector-wide consultation, ensuring relevance, inclusivity, and a strong focus on sustainability. Winners will be showcased at Gifted Fair (3–7 Dec) and announced at the RDS Foundation Arts Award Ceremony on 8 Dec.
