SPARK - creative residencies in companies
Leitrim Arts Office seeks interest from artists from any arts discipline who wish to participate in Spark, a new artists’ residency programme which is a partnership project of Leitrim County Council Arts Office and Leitrim County Enterprise Board, with the support of the Arts Council of Ireland.
Spark is a programme aimed at artists who are interested in working in new environments, and companies who are interested in collaborating with artists and promoting creativity within their organisations.
As part of Spark, artists simultaneously take on dual roles of artist and creative collaborator over the course of six months spending an average of two days per week with the company over that period.
