Callout for Artist in Residence for The ACRE Project

4th July 2024: The ACRE Project and Kildare County Council Arts Service welcome applications to the Artist in Residence programme, based in The ACRE Project, Celbridge, County Kildare.  Applications are invited from professional artists and/or collectives or companies practicing in any art form for a 30-week residency, commencing Autumn 2024. The Artist in Residence Bursary Award will support and resource an artist to develop their professional practice and/or develop a specific artistic project, alongside a programme of public-facing workshops to engage communities from the local area. It is envisaged that the successful candidate’s professional practice will complement the public engagement element of this residency, and vice versa. Now in its 3rd cycle, previous recipients of the award were Ailish Claffey and Embrace Music (Sadhbh O’Sullivan and Sharon Murphy).

 

The ACRE Project Artist in Residence Bursary Award will provide an artist with an Artist in Residence Bursary award (€15,000) alongside 30 weeks (1 day/week) access to facilities and the creative space at The ACRE Project, Celbridge, County Kildare.

The residency is supported by Kildare County Council Arts Service, as part of its Arts, Health and Wellbeing programme, with grant aid from the Arts Council of Ireland.

The ACRE Project (A Community Rethinking its Environment) is an eco-friendly community-based project located on the Maynooth Road in Celbridge, County Kildare.  The project welcomes the local community to use its internal and external spaces, including sensory gardens, for activities, for learning and for reflection.

 

The deadline for applications: 12pm (noon) Friday 26th July 2024. 

Full details and the application form can be accessed online here
