Artist-in-Residence: Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023

Wednesday, 31 March 2021, 5.00pm

The National Archives, under the Decade of Centenaries Programme is seeking an Artist-in-Residence to creatively engage with, and produce original work inspired by its collections. It is anticipated that the residency will cover a 24 month period from the date of commencement.

The residency will provide a unique opportunity for a professional artist of any discipline who has an interest in exploring the
collections of the National Archives, working with archivists and staff to engage with our historical collections in the context of our commemorations programme.

The residency will provide the artist with the environment and resources to develop their own practice using the archives and the collections as catalyst and inspiration. The residency is designed for artists whose work would be enhanced by an immersive engagement in this context.

The residency will be hosted by the National Archives, Bishop Street, Dublin 8. The unique feature of this residency and its primary focus is that it will allow the artist to have on-site access to engage with the records and the collections (subject to Covid-19 public health guidelines). The residency offers a unique opportunity for an artist to engage with a community of archivists as curators, as well as researchers, historians and those who use the reading room.

A fee of €20,000 is proposed for each artist with up to an additional €5,000 available for materials and the production of proposed creative output.

See link below for further details.

NB: No deadline specified.
