Visual Arts Residency at Firestation Artists’ Studios
Arts & Disability Ireland and Fire Station Artists’ Studios have been involved in a strategic partnership since 2008. This partnership began with a Studio Award for a Visual Artist with a Disability.
This award was presented annually from 2008-2012 and aimed to support professional practice and build capacity amongst visual artists with disabilities. The award consists of a free live and work studio in Fire Station Artists’ Studios and a bursary. Awardees of this award are Ruth Le Gear and Hugh O’Donnell (2011/12), Anna Berndtson (2010), and Noemi Lakmaier (2009)

It opens the potential for knowledge, sharing and gives artists the opportunity to observe and formally review aspects of their own practice in action.
