Artlink Fort Dunree
Artlink is an artist lead visual artists organisation based in the impressive cliff-top location of Fort Dunree. Artlink supports the ambitions and profile of local, national and international artists by providing a platform for the innovative delivery and realisation of visual arts projects. They manage a residency programme through which artists have the opportunity to research, experiment and create new original work and contribute to the creative development of the local arts community. Through a diverse programme which also includes exhibitions, workshops and community projects, they forge local, national and international partnerships to build a strong sustainable culture and contribute to the artistic and economic ecology of the region.
During the residency, artists are expected to develop new work or new ideas responding to the unique site and surrounding areas and engage with local artists and Artlink members.
