Acknowledging Arts Council support
Follow our logo guidelines to show you have received funding
Arts Council funding is public funding.
If you receive funding, you must acknowledge this support by using the relevant Arts Council branding and any necessary credits. If you also have sponsorship or funding from other sources, you must also acknowledge the Arts Council.
Acknowledgement should be proportionate to, and reflective of, the support provided by each funder. Please refer to Arts Council Funding Logo Guidelines.
The Funding Logo may only be reproduced from the primary artwork we supply, and must never be redrawn, trimmed, or modified. We monitor usage to ensure guidelines are followed.
Logo application guidelines and logo files can be accessed here.
Use ‘The Arts Council’ or ‘An Chomhairle Ealaíon’. The only exception is abroad, where ‘The Arts Council of Ireland’ may be used in addition to the logo. In Northern Ireland, ‘The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon’ may be used to differentiate from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
All press releases, interviews, public statements and speeches should feature a written or verbal acknowledgement of support for the duration of the funding.
For example, This tour is funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
Tag #ArtsCouncilSupported when posting about Arts Council-funded work. This includes profiles and related posts. Use the logo on images, including social media banners, where possible.

In addition to the relevant literature branding, publishers must use:
“[Publisher or journal name] received financial assistance from the Arts Council to publish this title.”/“Fuair [publisher or journal name] cúnamh airgid ón gComhairle Ealaíon chun an teideal seo a fhoilsiú.”
Where the Arts Council has supported the writer/illustrator in making the work, use the literature branding and:
“The author received financial support from the Arts Council in the creation of this work.”/ “Fuair [publisher or journal name] cúnamh airgid ón gComhairle Ealaíon chun an teideal seo a fhoilsiú.”
Film funded by the Arts Council must carry the relevant film branding in opening and closing credits at not less than 40% of the size of the main title, and at a size and running order placement proportionate to the level of Arts Council support relative to other funders. Also include the words, “Funded by the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon”/“Airgeadas ón gComhairle Ealaíon”. On the sleeve cover of videos and DVDs, include “Funding the Art of Film” branding in a prominent position.
Audio recordings must feature the branding in a prominent position on the sleeve cover.
