International Residency

The International Residency provides artists with an opportunity to bring their practice to a new, productive, supportive and dynamic environment located within Northern Ireland.* There are four annual international residencies each lasting approximately 8 weeks in duration (duration flexible). The International Residency offers accommodation, a stipend and an artist fee. The resident will be provided with a personal workstation within their own private studio space, (no studio rental charge) with Quad-Core Mac Pro computer programmed with relevant software such as Final Cut Studio 7 and Ableton Live 8. Artists are provided with an opportunity to discuss their work and resident’s talks/events are included and advertised as part of the DAS programme, however there is no provision for exhibition. Artists wishing to exhibit during their stay may organise this themselves if they wish and we will assist where possible. The participating artist will have to self-fund travel to and from Northern Ireland.
