Deadline: 30-Jan-23
The Kilkenny County Councils Arts Office in partnership with the Tyrone Guthrie Centre is now offering its annual residency opportunity for a practitioner in any art form currently based in Kilkenny to spend two weeks at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre artists’ workplace, Annaghmakerrig, Co Monaghan.
The aim of the Residency is to assist and encourage both established and emerging practitioners, in giving them an opportunity to work intensively on a project alongside others in a very unique environment.
Over 27 local authorities in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are offering special bursary awards to artists born or domiciled in their areas to enable them to spend two weeks at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, the artist’s workplace in County Monaghan. The bursaries are administered by each individual local authority.
Objectives
- To work closely with local authorities and their arts officers to discover emerging and established artists throughout the island of Ireland who might benefit from working at Annaghmakkerig.
- Through the artistic projects they realise to make their work apparent to the local communities from which they come, through exhibitions, performances, readings and other manifestations.
- Through this process to allow the Tyrone Guthrie Centre to establish partnerships with local authorities the length and breadth of the island of Ireland in keeping with its origins and aims as a major cross-border collaboration between northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Eligibility Criteria
- The practitioner must be currently based in Kilkenny;
- They will be selected based upon their previous achievements and the project they intend to undertake during their residency;
- The selected Artist Residency should take place within 12 months of receipt of their award.
