 SIRIUS and Create Artist Residency Award 2022

SIRIUS and Create in Dublin are offering a residency opportunity for a collaborative and/or socially-engaged artist. We are committed to supporting the selected artists’ interests as well as practices that either directly address the connection between art and activism, or broadly contribute to a discussion around commoning, locality, the public sphere and civic action.

In keeping with both SIRIUS and Create’s commitment to principles of equality, diversity and inclusion, we particularly welcome expressions of interest from artists from minority ethnic backgrounds and/or who have lived experience of displacement and/or are shaped by histories of intergenerational migration.

The residency takes place at SIRIUS between 22 September and 18 October. It provides opportunities for exchange, networking, and learning, with additional curatorial advice from SIRIUS. 

In addition, SIRIUS and Create support the selected artist to explore areas of their practice in an environment of rigorous discussion and critical feedback.

Closing date for applications: 1 July. Full details on Create's website www.create-ireland.ie
