Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 July 2022
549. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the estimated average cost of funding an artist-in-residence in each Department in cases in which there is no existing artist-in-residence. [40500/22]
View answerThe designation of artists-in-residence encompasses a wide range of artistic disciplines involving collaborations between artists and hosting organisations. At the core of an artist's residency is an approach that provides artists with space and resources in their artistic practice and discipline while working together with the host organisation in pursuit of a specific outcome.
There is no pre-determined or universal annual salary or duration and each artist-in-residence role is different. Any artist-in-residence programme funded by my Department would be advertised publicly and subject to an open and transparent process.
