Programmes

Applications are open for the PORTFOLIO Programme!

29 April 2026

Deadline: May 3, 2026

PORTFOLIO is an enduring programme which celebrates contemporary and design-led craft of the highest quality. The PORTFOLIO programme showcases work for the high-end gallery market and its publication is widely recognised and respected across the national and international fine craft communities.

 

DCCI established the PORTFOLIO programme in 2005 as a targeted, strategic development initiative to support the fine craft community and support Ireland’s high end craft makers in securing national & international commercial opportunities.

Having run successfully for many years, PORTFOLIO was paused and a review was conducted. PORTFOLIO now returns with a new approach where the next iteration will have one selection and all work selected will be included in the programme.

Applications are now open for an updated publication in 2026 followed by a curated exhibition in the National Design & Craft Gallery (NDCG) in early 2027.

 

All applicants must:

  • be current members of DCCI
  • commit to providing up to date and accurate information, as required
  • have usage rights for all images submitted
  • agree that content submitted can be used for promotional purposes on DCCI website and social media networks

 

More information and how to apply can be found here.
