Help Claire Pursue Her Dream of Studying Arts Management in Ireland

Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I’m Claire, and I’m incredibly excited to share that I’ve been accepted to the MA in Arts Management and Creative Producing program at University College Cork (UCC) in Cork, Ireland! This is a dream come true for me, and I’m reaching out to ask for your help in making it a reality.

A Dream 10 Years in the Making

I’ve always had a passion for arts and culture, and Ireland has been a dream destination for me ever since I was 10 years old. The rich cultural history, the artistic community, and the opportunities to learn and grow are just a few of the reasons I’ve always wanted to study there.

For the last ten years, I’ve been working as a Ceramics Teacher at a nonprofit that supports adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This work has been incredibly fulfilling and has taught me so much about creativity, resilience, and the power of art in transforming lives. But over the past year, I’ve felt a growing call to further my education and expand my impact in the arts world. When I discovered the MA program at UCC, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to take the next step in my journey.

How You Can Help

Attending UCC is an exciting and life-changing opportunity, but it also comes with a significant financial cost. I am aiming to raise $25,000 to cover my tuition, housing, and transportation for the duration of the program.

This amount will help me:

Why This Matters

This program will not only allow me to deepen my understanding of arts management and creative producing, but it will also give me the tools to better serve the communities I care about, particularly those with disabilities. By expanding my skills and knowledge, I hope to create more inclusive, accessible, and impactful artistic spaces for individuals from all walks of life.

Your Support Means the World

I couldn’t be more grateful for any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation, sharing my story with your network, or keeping me in your thoughts as I embark on this exciting new chapter.

Every dollar counts, and no contribution is too small. I am so thankful for the love and encouragement I’ve already received from my community, and I’m excited to continue sharing my journey with all of you.

Thank you for helping me make my dream of studying in Ireland come true!

With gratitude,


Claire
