Opportunity: A4 Sounds We Only Want The Earth Awards

We Only Want the Earth evolves as A4 Sounds reflect and build on their work each year. This year they are making a few changes and are excited to announce that they are offering four funded awards!

A4 Sounds are offering two five month residencies to two individual artists, and eight studio awards open to individual artists. Artists can work on any topic of their choosing as long their proposal responds to the theme We Only Want the Earth.

They are seeking bold, ambitious and critical artists to participate on their programme, which includes two residency awards.

Residency award one is with collaborating partners Create and Transgender Equality Network Ireland and is open to individual artists who are trans, nonbinary or gender nonconforming currently living in Ireland.

Residency award two is with collaborating partners and artists Fire Station Artists’ Studios and Movement of Asylum Seekers Ireland and is open to individual artists who are seeking or have sought international protection in Ireland.

You can read more about their programme at a4sounds.org and look at the work produced by previous artists on the programme at a4sounds.org/WOWTE-Archive. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Lisa by emailing wowte@a4sounds.org. 

The closing date for applications is Friday 15 November 2024 at 5pm.
