Applications are now open for the Music Network and Ionad Cultúrtha Musician-in-Residence Programme (Baile Mhúirne)
On this occasion, we welcome applications solely from professional musicians who are resident in Ireland, who are autistic/ people with autism and who have a strong track record in music performance.
The appointed Musician-in-Residence will receive a bursary of €8,000 and the residency will provide support for the Musician-in-Residence to devote time in October and November 2025 to:
- Develop their creative practice
- Create new work and/or artistic collaborations which engage with the Irish language and/or the Gaeltacht in a creative way
- Engage with the community, working alongside an experienced facilitator to deliver a programme of inclusive music activities
- Showcase their work live in concert at the end of the residency (the performance may involve collaborating musicians engaged by the Musician-in-Residence)
The Musician-in-Residence will visit Ionad Cultúrtha 4 times during the residency and have access to the theatre or a suitable alternative space for up to 12 days.
In addition, a range of in-kind supports will be offered by Ionad Cultúrtha and Music Network. The Musician-in-Residence will be welcome to liaise directly with the Artistic Director of Ionad Cultúrtha throughout the residency and also with Music Network staff, as needed.
Closing date: Apply by Monday 1 September 2025 at 2pm
You may apply via email or via an online form, according to your preference.
An online information meeting for people potentially interested in applying for the Residency will take place on Thursday 14 August at 11 am. You can register to attend here.
