Treoirlínte 

Iarrann Comhairle Contae Chorcaí ar thograí ó ealaíontóirí aonair, eagraíochtaí ealaíon gairmiúla, féilte agus grúpaí ealaíon deonacha d’imeachtaí, tionscadail nó gníomhaíochtaí ealaíon atá bunaithe i nGaeilge. Is í aidhm an snáithe maoinithe seo ná tacú le saothar nua a chruthú nó imeacht, tionscadal nó gníomhaíocht ealaíon atá bunaithe ar an nGaeilge a chur chun cinn.

Is é cuspóir an mhaoinithe seo ná:

• Chun tacú le himeachtaí, tionscadail nó gníomhaíochtaí ealaíon nua a bhunú, agus chun tacú leo siúd atá ann cheana féin, agus iad a chur chun cinn mar imeachtaí neamhspleácha nó mar chuid de chlár bliantúil eagraíochta ealaíon gairmiúla, féile nó grúpa ealaíon deonach, nó ó ealaíontóir aonair.
• Leibhéil níos airde rannpháirtíochta cruthaithí sna healaíona a spreagadh ó ealaíontóirí agus baill den phobal trí mheán na Gaeilge

• Cabhraíonn sé le Comhairle Contae Chorcaí a seirbhísí cultúrtha a sholáthar ar bhealach níos cothroime trí ghníomhaíochtaí nua ealaíon a sholáthar, ag díriú ar ghrúpaí pobail ar leith, nó trí rochtain ar ghníomhaíochtaí ealaíon bunaithe ar Ghaeilge a mhéadú, go pearsanta agus ar líne araon.
• Chun ealaíontóirí agus eagraíochtaí ealaíon agus grúpaí ealaíon deonacha a cur ar a gcumas oibriú le chéile le pobail chun léiriúcháin, gníomhaíochtaí agus imeachtaí nua a fhorbairt ag úsáid na Gaeilge. 

Is é an príomhchuspóir atá againn ná gníomhaíocht ealaíon atá bunaithe ar theangacha a chur chun cinn trí Ghaeilge agus is féidir go n-áireofaí modhanna mar - amharclannaíocht agus drámaíocht, scéalaíocht, puipéadóireacht, aithriseoireacht, amhránaíocht, ceoldráma, beochan, ealaíona sráide, scannánaíocht agus litríocht a chur san áireamh. Ní fhéadfar foirmeacha / tionscadail ealaíne nach bhfuil bunaithe ar theanga a mheas faoin snáithe maoinithe seo.
