Sixteen projects, including six from Northern Ireland, are to benefit from grants made available by the Government for cultural projects with significant cross-border elements.
They range from festivals and dance performances to craft and video projects in which groups from north and south collaborate.
Each of the successful applicants will receive funding up to a maximum of €15,000.
Minister for Culture Catherine Martin said the awards were a recognition that exchanging ideas deepened the country's cultural offering.
She said: "We have a wonderful tapestry of art, music, film, heritage throughout the island of Ireland.
"The co-operation with Northern Ireland is an important recognition that culture has no borders and to celebrate this across the whole island of Ireland."
A number of projects received the maximum grant. They include one run by the Irish Military Heritage Foundation in Co Kildare to produce a video on the Battle of the Boyne in collaboration with the Museum of Orange Heritage and other groups.
Herstory Education Trust based in Westmeath will get almost €10,000 to create an arts education programme that explores the pivotal role of women in the Irish peace process.
Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company based in Derry is awarded €14,670 to stage cross-border public performances of Irish dancing along with workshops to enhance participation.
Dún Uladh based in Tyrone will receive €10,000 to stage a series of concerts with musicians living and working on both sides of the border.
Applications were invited for projects involving joint initiatives between organisations on a north and south basis or that improved cultural tourism and cultural outreach.
