The Invites is an initiative of Roots in Tune to promote intercultural connections within Ireland. With the initiative, Roots in Tune wishes to support members of their community to celebrate and share their ‘Roots’, by inviting inspirational artists from their country of origin and by creating a project with the artists around the culture they represent. The initiative intends to show the richness of a multicultural society, share the joy of it and celebrate the arts from around the world.
The projects can be tailored to the specific nature of the art or culture and can vary depending on the specific project.
All members of Roots in Tune can present a project and submit an application. Roots in Tune will review the proposed project and decide if it is in line with our ethos and vision. In return, Roots in Tune will propose ways in which we can support the project and the volunteers who intend to organize the project. We particularly welcome cross-artform applications and visual arts initiatives.
Possible support provided by Roots in Tune are:
Funding the travel expenses of the foreign artist who is invited.
Promoting the project.
Provide the legal structure behind the project.
Support the volunteers who organize the project with advice and logistics.
How to Submit a proposal:
Simply email us and present a clear and to the point project including date, place and artist(s) you wish to invite + the country/culture they'll represent.
Explain how the project intends to connect people from different cultures through music and/or the arts.
