ARTISTS’ DEVELOPMENT RESIDENCIES
PHOTO MUSEUM IRELAND’S five-strand Residency Programme provides essential art form development support for artists working in Ireland. In 2025, the evaluation of our Artist’s Survey of Needs in 2024 has directly informed a significant expansion of our Residency Programme.
The artists are selected through open calls and nominations by our curatorial team and our panel of international advisors.
Throughout the workplace residencies, the artists are offered:
- Free use of our high-spec artists’ digital studio and unique high-spec production facilities
- Continuous Professional Development training bespoke to their needs.
- Mentoring on workflow and management of artworks.
- Regular critical feedback sessions with Photo Museum Ireland curators.
- Mentoring from our panel of leading international photo experts.
- Promotion across all our platforms.
- Advice on sustainable approaches and photo ethics.
- Advice on creative writing and photobook production from writers, specialist photobook publishers and designers.
- Fees and production costs paid.
