Description

Technical Development Residencies 2026 – Leitrim Sculpture Centre
Leitrim Sculpture Centre is awarding up to five Technical Development Residencies during 2025. These are awarded to artists wishing to explore new directions in their practice through experimental engagement with different materials, processes, and ideas using the technical facilities of the Centre.  Up to 2 residencies will be provided to artists based in Leitrim. At least 3 residencies will be offered to artists based elsewhere within Ireland, including artists from ethnic minority or migrant backgrounds.

Residency Supports
The residency period is 4 weeks and includes an artist’s stipend of €2,000 inclusive. It comes with a residential studio apartment including a private and heated studio, broadband internet; general technical & safety support; basic energy and the use of technical facilities specified by the applicant. Energy for kilns, foundry or other hot processes is metered and charged. Although the TDR award is offered for experimental engagement without the pressure of having to produce an exhibition, or specific project outcome during or at the end of the research period, artists who complete a TDR are invited back the following year for a group exhibition of work that has emerged out of the initial research stage.

Application Deadline: 7 September 2025
Notification by: 1 October 2025
Residencies will take place from: Jan – Nov. during 2026
