Artist in residency in Ireland

Deadline: 3 February 2020

Trinity College is pleased to invite applications from artists for a 12 month artist‐in‐residence position commencing in March 2020. The artist will be based at TTEC (Trinity Technology & Enterprise Centre), Grand Canal. The aim is to enable the artist to develop new work through a collaborative process of engagement with communities which should include local residents and school children and may also include technology and creative start‐ups and businesses, as the site transitions towards a new campus at the heart of the proposed Grand Canal Innovation District (GCID). The new site will have a focus on technology and creative arts, housing researchers, industry and start‐ups, as well as providing a welcoming space and opportunities for local residents. It is intended that this artist‐in‐residence position will be the beginning of a long‐term commitment to integrating art into the campus and wider innovation district. Submissions are welcome from artists working in any art form.

The artist‐in‐residence will focus on collaborative, community oriented programming, working with
local residents of all ages, school children and community groups. Applicants will be expected to
produce new work, engage with the history and culture of the area and site, as well as considering the
proposed plans for development. Our hope is that they will listen to the issues that affect this
community and respond to these issues with collaborative art that is ambitious, radical, engaged, and
meaningful. This is an open brief and artists may use a range of art forms, including but not limited to
theatre, story‐telling, film‐making, music, visual art, dance, writing, animation.

No entry fee
