Open Call | Oileán AiR Socially Engaged Research Residency

Monday, 10 August 2020, 5.00pm

Artist Ruairí Ó’Donnabháin, Comharchumman Chléire, Ealaín na Gaeltactha and Cork County Council Arts Office welcome a second group for Oileán AiR, a socially engaged artistic research residency programme for artists with an interest in working in or with the Irish language, and invites them to submit their applications due Aug 10th 2020.

The third Oileán AiR is a two month long, full time artistic research and residency programme which offers time and space to work in the unique context of the remote island Gaeltacht; Cape Clear. How can your artistic practice meet the local community and topography of our beautiful island? How does the Irish language function in contemporary Irish arts practice?

During the two month residential programme selected artists will be housed at the historic ‘Éirí na Gréine’; house on the island, with access to private studio spaces and a plethora of other potential work spaces and contexts. Participating artists will live and work together as peers but there will be no emphasis placed on collaboration or the production of a final artwork instead each artist will be asked to facilitate a meaningful engagement with the local community. The programme will aim to support the artistic process of each participant, encouraging some engagement through practice with the Irish language.

Each artist will be provided with;
– their own private room at Éirí na Gréine
– access to private studio space
– a bursary of €2000
– a small travel budget
