It is said it will highlight some of the 'most exciting current and upcoming productions available for touring from Northern Ireland'
Seven works by Northern Ireland arts organisations will be showcased at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.
The Festival Fringe is the biggest arts marketplace in the world and will provide the Northern Ireland performers with an opportunity to network with other artists with a view to having their work tour internationally.
"We are also delighted to announce bursaries as part of a fellowship programme. This is to support a number of artists, directors and producers to attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where they can promote themselves and their work for possible future performances there, as well as internationally."
Alison McCrudden, head of literature, drama and dance at Arts Council of Northern Ireland, said: "It's a testament to the creativity, tenacity and forward-looking focus of our artists that they have created such high quality and resonant works.
