Fee Details

The residency fee is €500 per week, per person. The fee is heavily subsidised and additionally, residents receive support and informal mentoring during the residency period, and ongoing support after the residency.  

There is no external funding for this project, so unfortunately we cannot provide assistance with fees and production costs, among other things.  

Successful applicants often source funding by applying to their national arts funding bodies, securing academic institutional support or by personal fundraising.  

The Museum of Loss and Renewal can provide formal letters of invitation to assist in this process.  

Residents are responsible for funding and organising their travel, insurances and any visa requirements particular to country of origin.
