The Derek Hill Foundation – Glenveagh National Park Artists Residency
The Derek Hill Foundation with the Glebe Gallery, Glenveagh National Park (National Parks and Wildlife Service) and Regional Cultural Centre are collaborating on a new, exciting opportunity for an artist to spend three weeks immersed in the remote landscapes of Donegal between March/ April 2025.
Visual Artists 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.
Accommodation is provided in a comfortable cottage and a payment of £2000 is available to cover expenses.
There is no dedicated studio space in the cottage but the residency offers a period of time for research, reflection and study.
Participating artists will be expected to deliver at least one publicly engaged event as well as written and visual reports of how their time was spent.
Artists must be based in the UK or Republic of Ireland and have a minimum of 3 years’ professional practice experience.
