Catalyst Residency 2025 now open for applications

Catalyst Residency, offered in partnership between Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios (FSAS), offers a socially engaged artist from an under-represented ethnic background a one-month residency in Dublin 1 during June 2025. The residency is intended as an artist-led incubation period which allows them to develop their practice and their networks with targeted support from the residency partners. The closing date for applications is the 7th April 2025.

The residency offers artists the opportunity to be mentored by a range of practitioners (see below); it is designed to enable the successful candidate to step away from their everyday responsibilities and to instead immerse themselves in a dedicated period of reflection, mentoring, peer-to-peer conversation and strategic networking.

We invite expressions of interest from artists with a track record of collaborative socially engaged arts practice.
