Deadline: 7-Apr-22
The Arts Council of Ireland has announced the applications for the International Residency Initiatives Scheme to support art organisations in the delivery of residency initiatives and to create opportunities for transnational exchange and cooperation across all art forms.
The scheme aims to facilitate diverse residencies programmes that involve partnerships with organisations based abroad thus creating a supportive framework for the international mobility and professional development of artists and art practitioners.
The emphasis of the scheme is on enabling art organisations to initiate or consolidate collaborative frameworks with partners based abroad. While these frameworks must be exclusively focused on the delivery of residency initiatives that will benefit the artists and the public, the nature of each proposal can flexibly respond to the specific needs of each partnership, art form and artistic goals.
Priorities
Priority will be given to applications that demonstrate:
- The clarity of the proposed residency programme in terms of: artistic aims, feasibility and cooperation frameworks
- The high quality of supports and opportunities offered to artists and/or arts practitioners

- The coherence between the proposed artistic activities and the resources available to the residency.
