Creative Spark - Residency

The Creative Spark Residency Programme will provide opportunities for visual artists and art professionals to research and develop their practices.

It will support both emerging and established visual artists working in any medium.

Application will be by open call or invitation and will be open to Irish and international applicants.

The residency programme will award up to 10 residencies to visual artists each year.

The residency programme will award up to 4 residencies to Printmakers each year.


The residency is 2-3 months in duration and gives artists the opportunity to further establish their practice or to learn another art form. During this time the successful applicant will have a fully fitted studio space with water supply. At the end of their residency, artists will be required to give demonstrations and provide talks on their practice during their residency and donate one piece to Creative Spark archives. The residency should include a community participation element and may conclude with an exhibition of the recipients work locally.
