Exciting opportunity for Tipperary-based artists as applications open for residency
Applications are now open for an exciting opportunity of a residency in Clonmel for two Tipperary-based artists.
Tipperary based artists of all disciplines are invited to apply for participation in SPLASH LAB, a process-based six day encounter in Clonmel, 7th-12th July 2025.
SPLASH LAB will be a process-based 6-day encounter that will include roundtables, reflection workshops and an artist research laboratory gathering local, national and international artists of diverse disciplines for an intensive residency of collaborative, creative experimentation and cross-pollination within the context of Tipperary Dance’s Splash Alliance and Clonmel Junction Arts Festival, supported by South Tipperary Arts Centre and Finding A Voice - Music Festival.
The aims of SPLASH LAB are to focus on artistic development, research and creation, to explore interdisciplinary collaboration through cultivating creative collisions and cross-cultural collaborations, to experiment with new ideas and forms, to make connections and learnings that accelerate ideas, with original outcomes based on the unique combination of art forms and artists.
This is an opportunity for two Tipperary based artists to take part in this 6-day residency of exploration and experimentation with contemporary dancers (national and international).
SPLASH LAB will culminate on day six with an open workshop + an outdoor showcase performance on Kickham Plaza on 12th July as part of Clonmel Junction Arts Festival 2025.
Eligible artists/disciplines include: visual artists, multi-disciplinary artists, writers, poets, musicians, composers, theatre practitioners.
Applicants MUST be domiciled in Co Tipperary and MUST be available to be in Clonmel for the duration of the residency (7th-12th July inclusive).
Each selected artist will receive a fee of €600 to support their participation for this 6-day residency.
To apply: please send an expression of interest, along with your artist statement and a PDF of no more than 10 images or media links to [email protected]
Closing date: Friday 25th April at 5pm.
