(ENVIRONMENTAL ARTISTS) Residencies in Donegal, Ireland
Donegal County Council’s Public Art Office, in partnership with Leonardo/OLATS, seeks artists for one of five residencies (4-11 weeks) interested in exploring how art can address issues around global warming and climate change in County Donegal. Residencies will be of 4-11 weeks in duration (although proposals for shorter or longer periods can be considered). The residencies will not be studio based. The Regional Cultural Centre and other bodies in the region may accommodate proposals, which require studio space. The successful artists will not necessarily have to be resident in Donegal for the entire duration of the project. But they must demonstrate a commitment to working on the ground during at least part of the residency. For more information, please go to: http://www.donegalculture.com. Deadline: 08/03/09
