The Derek Hill Foundation with the Glebe Gallery, Glenveagh National Park (National Parks and Wildlife Service) and Regional Cultural Centre are collaborating on an exciting opportunity for two visual artists to spend three weeks immersed in the remote landscapes of Donegal in the spring or autumn 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individual artists from a wide range of visual art disciplines are invited to explore all aspects of Glenveagh including the natural ecology, heritage, culture and local communities. This may touch on but is not limited to: Glenveagh as a National Park; natural landscape restoration; Derek Hill, his practice and legacy; the Glebe House and its collections; the people, social history or working resources of the area; Tory Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accommodation is provided in a comfortable cottage and a grant of \u00a32000 is available to cover all expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no dedicated studio space but the residency offers a period of time for research, reflection and study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participating artists will be expected to deliver at least one publicly engaged event or donate an artwork created during their residency, as well as a written and visual report of how their time was spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individual artists must be based in the UK or Republic of Ireland and have a minimum of 3 years\u2019 professional practice experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
