Stipendienprogramm der Ballinglen Arts Foundation

The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, located in the small coastal village of Ballycastle, County Mayo, Ireland, offers the Fellowship Programme – a residency award for visual artists worldwide. The programme invites artists to bring family or companions, providing cottages for living and purpose‑built studios for working. The residency typically lasts around four weeks, with the possibility of slight extensions depending on the time of year. Applications are accepted throughout the year, with reviews conducted twice yearly. The Fellowship is open to professional visual artists (painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, sculpture) and emerging artists of recognized ability, all of whom must be 18 years or older. The programme does not include a formal curriculum; artists are encouraged to engage with the local community and landscape, which is said to inspire creative practice. The Foundation covers accommodation and studio space, but does not provide a monetary stipend or travel support. The Fellowship is a rolling call, with no fixed deadline, and is open to artists of all nationalities.
