Three Artist Residencies at Artlink Fort Dunree in 2023

The Artlink artist residencies are open to professional visual artists working in any discipline including but not limited to sculpture, photography, painting, installation, and video. Artists in residence must be available for four weeks between March to December 2023, which can be split into two or more visits. 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. Resident artists are expected to actively create within the studio space for at least 20 hours a week and be willing to hold open studio hours with the public for a minimum of one day a week. Public engagement could be through presenting artist talks, workshops, demonstrations or other events.

Artists will be paid a residency fee of €6500/€5000 for undertaking the residency. The residency fee covers all flights, accommodation, transport, materials, living expenses and artist’s fee. The selected artists are responsible for arranging their own accommodation and travel arrangements and managing their budget as appropriate.
There are three residency positions available. The residencies and the associated fees are allocated as follows:

• 1 x Visual Artist living anywhere in the world: €6500
• 1 x Visual Artist living and working in East Iceland: €6500
• 1 x Visual Artist living and working in Ireland: €5000

The international residency is available to any artist living and working outside the Republic of Ireland, and the Irish residencies are open to any artists living and working in the Republic of Ireland.
