FSAS Residency awards 2022: Open Call for 3 x Short term residencies

Fire Station Artists’ Studios (FSAS) is pleased to announce 3 short-term residential awards. FSAS offers subsidised, live/work, residential studios for professional visual artists in Dublin city centre. The three residencies are offered from 8th September 2022 for a period of 6 months.

The studios available are Studio 5 (30m2, €411/month), Studio 6 (30m2, €411/month) and Studio 8 (63m2, €606/month). These monthly rates are highly subsidised and include utilities, waste disposal, parking, internet access, use of the digital media area and curatorial support, as well as subsidised access to our workspaces & equipment.

The artists who are awarded these short-term residencies will be eligible to apply for our longer-term residencies in the future, but will be offered a shorter lease taking into account the length of this residency.

Please note that the following are not eligible to apply to our Residencies:

• students (including those taking full-time and part-time MA and PhD courses)

International artists with a demonstrable connection to Ireland are welcome to apply.
