Artist-Initiated Projects Applications for the 2027 programme are now open! Deadline: 5 pm Tuesday 13th October 2026

Submissions are sought via open call from visual artists based in Ireland, for up to 6 x 4-week exhibitions, between March–November 2027. We are delighted to increase artist fees and production budget, along with retaining access supports for 2027.

Solo, 2-person, collaborative and group exhibitions will be considered, and we welcome projects/bodies of work that are completed, or in progress with clearly expressed outcomes, across all contemporary visual art forms.

This programme of self-directed projects will receive an artists fee/production budget, publicity, invigilation, photographic documentation and other supports. Artists are asked to include in their proposal an outreach aspect which considers different audiences/communities of interest, such as but not limited to: events, workshops, talks, performances, and accompanying texts.
We will host an online Q&A with curator/programme producer Eve Woods at 5pm on September 15th. Please Register on Eventbrite and submit your questions.
