Patron Donation Award
First launched in 2015, Pavilion Patron Donation Award is a performance-based award to co-commission and co-produce ambitious main stage works by established artists and organisations. The award is for both new work and revivals. We welcome unique offerings, collaborations and, ultimately, great art to engage with a wide audience. This could also include festival proposals, interdisciplinary projects or artists moving into different artforms.
In 2025, there were 10 awardees, working across theatre, music and dance in all four provinces. Made possible by the generous contributions of Pavilion Theatre’s loyal patrons, €140,000 in total was allocated to support these projects. Selected from a highly competitive pool of nearly 60 applications, these artists represent outstanding art that will engage widely with audiences. We look forward to supporting them as they bring their work to life.
Applications will open again in 2026. Our social media channels are the best place to stay updated.
