Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency Award

Information Sheet

Eligibility - Individual artists from any discipline
Closing Date – 5pm Thursday 31st March 2016.
The Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency Award is awarded annually to an artist born or domiciled in Roscommon to enable them to spend two weeks at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, the Artist’s Workspace in Co. Monaghan. Each bursary covers all board and lodging expenses for a two-week period plus the use of a studio if necessary, subject to a maximum of €300.00.
The scheme is open to practitioners in all artforms, born or domiciled in Roscommon.
Applicants should show significant achievement in their chosen field. This would normally mean that writers should already have published in book form, painters or sculptors should have had one-person shows in reputable galleries and that composers or musicians should have had their work commissioned, recorded or performed, or whatever might be appropriate to the particular artform. Otherwise the applicant must demonstrate a high degree of promise attested by referees or other forms of support from established figures in the arts.
Applications to include:
  • Completed application form
  • Detailed Curriculum Vitae
  • Sample of the artist’s work:
Visual Artists: 5 images should be either hardcopy/disc/emailed 15mb folder (jpeg format) and all multimedia work should be PC or DVD accessible.
Writers: book or 20 pages of published work
Musicians: a recording or score
In all or any cases relevant supporting material may be submitted.
Applicants should state clearly what they wish to accomplish during their stay at Annaghmakerrig. This project outline is often decisive and should demonstrate that the artist is commencing, concluding or working towards a body of work, exhibition, publication or performances, which will be helped by a stay in the Centre.
Annaghmakerrig is administered by a board appointed by the two Arts Councils in Ireland.
On completion of the residency, you will be requested to submit a report on activities undertaken during the residency and how it has benefited your practice.
Please note that this is a competitive bursary and applying does not guarantee funding.
