Description

Are you a practising artist looking for space to create and connect with an artist community in Ireland? We currently have memberships available at A4 Sounds.

Costing just €100 per month, we offer an affordable alternative to the traditional artist studio; with shared spaces that prioritise community, and a wide range of facilities, training, and our professional development programme, to support artists working across an array of mediums.

Can’t commit to a studio right now but would like access to our community and professional supports? We also have a Collective Membership tier available for €20 per month.

WHO ARE WE?
A4 Sounds is one of the largest non-profit artist-run workspace and gallery in north-inner-city Dublin; Guided by feminist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and LGBT-inclusive politics, A4 Sounds supports artists and activists who fight for change.

WHO ARE YOU?
We welcome applications from artists working in a wide range of disciplines at all stages in their careers. Applicants should be committed to the ongoing development of their practices.
As a socially engaged organisation we have keen interest in applications from artists working in disciplines that align with this; however, we do not expect all artists to work in this way!

APPLICATION PROCESS:

1. Artists can apply via our application form on our website.
2. We will review applications and invite selected artists to view the studio and an informal interview.
3. New members will be selected based on their portfolio and available space within the studio.
