Leitrim sculpture centre - Landscape, Ecology & Environment Research Residencies

Leitrim Sculpture Centre is awarding up to 4 Research & Development Residencies to artists during 2023. This residency programme provides artists working in the field of contemporary visual arts, with the space, time and support for the research and development of new engagements with landscape, ecology and/or environmental contexts and themes. Specifically, the programme supports artists wishing to explore new thinking, artistic practices and/or material transformations current within rural, landscape and/or environmental contexts, discourses and settings. It is envisaged that artists will use this work to develop new approaches and methods within their own practice, informing new directions for them and potentially the Centre. One of the residencies is offered to an international artist/researcher working in this field.

Residency Supports
Successful applicants will each receive a research fee of €2,000. Research may take place at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre or in other locations of the artists choosing. Research time will involve approximately 20 days work over the course of one year and successful applicants will receive detailed guidelines as to the form and scope of research material required. A further exhibition fee will be awarded in the summer of 2024 for the public dissemination of the research project at LSC galleries in Co. Leitrim.
