Ardán is a non-profit, independent organisation operating across the West of Ireland and beyond. Their principal aim is to support creatives within the audio-visual industry, in the mediums of filmmaking, television, animation and games, through enabling access and providing opportunities.
Their work is founded upon our belief in the incredible depth of talent we have in the regions of Ireland and most especially in the West. Their goal is to enable that formidable creative spirit to enrich the audio-visual industry, and for talented individuals to realise their full potential and grow a sustainable career path as a result. At the core of their support is providing opportunities. They know that talent will not hesitate to seize opportunities, if it is able to access them.
