Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts, has announced the Dr Ailbhe Murphy Research Residency in honour and remembrance of their former Director, who sadly passed away in May 2024. Ailbhe’s commitment to supporting collaborative arts practitioners and to deep and rigorous research has inspired this award.
The Research Residency is designed to support an established collaborative arts practitioner with a research-focused practice. The successful artist will be awarded €12,000 and a suite of supports over one year to develop their thinking and delve deeply into the wider context in which their collaborative practice takes place.
The artist will be hosted within Create’s new Reading Room & Archive and offered access to materials within these collections. Partners at IMMA and NCAD will also provide practical supports such as one-to-one advisory sessions, as well as access to research material and archives related to collaborative arts.
Deadline for applications: 5 June 2025, 5pm
