Visual Artists Ireland Residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris.

The Residency is open to all members of Visual Artists Ireland working in all visual art forms at all career stages.

This year VAI will provide a two month research based residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. Accommodation, one return flight, and a stipend of €750 per month is included in the residency. The residency offers a great opportunity for visual artists to tap into the resources of the CCI, as well as being an important means of showcasing Ireland’s dynamic contemporary culture on an international stage.

A clear indication of the focus of the residency will be required together with a record of professional achievement: details of publications, exhibitions, performances, compositions, prizes, awards and related aspects of practice, as well as experience of other residencies. Visual artists must have had at least one solo exhibition.
