Arts Council Digital Artist in Residence – University Pilot Programme

The Arts Council of Ireland has launched a pilot Digital Artist in Residence programme in partnership with three universities – University College Cork, University of Galway and University of Limerick – for the 2026/27 academic year. The residency is six months long and offers a €18,000 stipend, studio access, workspace and up to four hours per week for outreach, student engagement and knowledge‑sharing. It is aimed at mid‑career or established digital artists who are resident in the Republic of Ireland and who do not already have public funding for the proposed activities. Applicants must submit a proposal, a one‑page artist statement, a CV of no more than three pages and a portfolio or website link. The programme provides a stimulating environment for the resident artist and brings digital practice into the university setting, allowing students and faculty to engage with a practising digital artist.
