Also, note that the DSAC funds proposals from independent organisations for Heritage Themed Festivals through the MGE Open Call; category of Cultural Events.
2. (a) (b) & (c). The table below reflects the Arts, Culture and Heritage Festivals that have received multiple-year grants; and these are geared towards supporting and encouraging social cohesion and nation building while contributing to the growth of the cultural and creative industry; creating platforms for artists; and contributing to audience development.
