We welcome applications from artists to come and live and work on Inis Oírr and provide up to ten residencies each year. Each residency includes an on-site private apartment and a self-contained studio, and access to our galleries and theatre. The successful applicant will receive a €1000 stipend funded by Ealaín na Gaeltachta.

Artist bio:
Siobhán O’Callaghan is a Dublin-based artist, invigorated by art’s capacity for storytelling,documentary and commentary, and the processes of making. Her work centres around connection in various forms – shared experiences, intimacy, how we relate to our environment. She is mindful that the environments in which we live help people make sense of their belonging in a larger culture and community. Relationships and communication take centre stage in her paintings, drawings and sculptures, and the process of their making.
Siobhán graduated from NCAD in 2015 with First Class Honours in Fine Art & VisualCulture. She continued her training at Florence Academy of Art. Exhibitions include Cumainn / We Gather, Ballaí Bána Gallery, Belfast (2024), Alchemical Vessels, 126 Gallery (2023), RHA Annual Exhibition (2021, 2022, 2023), Utopia Dystopia, dlr Lexicon (2019), and Caoláit, Burren College of Art (2019).
