Fingal Arts Residency Award in partnership with Graphic Studio Dublin

Fingal County Council, in partnership with Graphic Studio Dublin, are offering two Fine-Art Print Residencies. It is planned that the two-week residencies will take place in Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 at a date to be agreed with the artists. 

This 2-week residency is open to professional artists at any stage of their careers, in any discipline, but who are interested in exploring print processes. It offers professional artists the opportunity to make a fine art print with the guidance and assistance of a Master Printer and the team at Graphic Studio Dublin. 

The residency will provide an ideal environment for the development of a creative project in printmaking and an opportunity to network with other artists. 

The recipients will work over the two-week period with the Master Printer and a professional printing team, exploring printmaking and printing a small edition, using a pre-prepared drawing or image as a starting point. The work may be displayed along with members’ work in Graphic Studio Gallery the following year.

Fingal County Council Arts Officer, Sarah O’Neil commented “The Graphic Studio Dublin Fine Art Print residency represents an opportunity to connect people and ideas, one of our strategic goals. Learning from a master printmaker offers artists a unique opportunity to develop their creative practice.”

The professional aims and objectives of the successful candidate will be continually assessed during the residency to ensure the artist gains the maximum benefit from their time. The collaborative nature of being part of a collective print studio and working with a professional printmaker will be of enormous assistance to the artist.

To be eligible to apply applicants must have been brought up, have studied, or currently reside in Fingal County administrative area. No printmaking experience is necessary to avail of this residency.
