Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Ireland is making its basic income for artists program permanent starting in 2026, following a successful trial that began in 2022. The program provides selected artists with approximately $375 per week ($1,500 monthly), with 2,000 spots available. Applications will open in September 2026, though eligibility criteria have not yet been announced. The government may expand the program if additional funding becomes available.
