About the Residency
Through this residency programme, FSAS provides the armature to build links/fosters collaborations between international artists, curators, art institutions & their Irish counterparts. This residency programme provides opportunities for international curators to:

  • connect in person with the Irish visual art scene
  • undertake research, studio visits and participate in Dublin & Ireland’s dynamic visual arts sector
  • make connections, explore international exhibition opportunities with Irish artists, with introductions facilitated, where possible, by FSAS staff

As part of their residency, International Curators are asked to:

  • give a short public talk in FSAS at the beginning of their stay to meet resident & non-resident practitioners from Dublin and beyond, to elaborate their practice
  • take part in studio visits with FSAS artists and attend FSAS events coinciding with their stay
  • to write a brief report for our own evaluation purposes at the end of their residency to help FSAS continue to refine our awarded residency programme
  • to bring previous publications or exhibition ephemera relating to their recent work, and where possible, recommend active reading material of current interest for the FSAS library
