EXPLORE DESIGN Mentorship Programme 2024

Open Call

Explore Design is a mentorship program connecting award-winning designers with seven emerging playwrights and theatre-makers, fostering design thinking and scenography skills in their practice. If you value the visual impact of your project and believe stage imagery or sound is as meaningful as spoken words, this is the opportunity for you.
This programme is funded by The Arts Council Arts Grant Funding 2024, presented by ISPD in partnership with Irish Theatre Institute, and supported by Project Arts Centre.
