Music Network
Now in its 11th year, the Scheme provides musicians with space and time to create new work, develop their skills, collaborate with other artists and showcase their music.
Successful artists will receive funding up to a maximum award of €12,000, a space to work in and advice and mentoring to support their career development. Audiences will also have an opportunity to engage with the resident musicians at a series of open rehearsals, workshops and public performances in Dún Laoghaire.
Two residencies are available to musicians working in any genre of music, from rock to pop or classical, jazz, trad and everything in between.  One residency is specifically for emerging musicians and one is for established musicians. Applicants must be able to demonstrate a strong connection to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, or propose a project that links with the area, for example taking inspiration from the location or by engaging with local communities or musicians.
As part of this year’s scheme the residency to support the work of established musicians has a maximum funding award of €12,000, and there is an award of up to €7,500 to support the work of an emerging musician or group. This year’s residencies will run from May to November 2025.
The closing date for applications is 2pm, Friday 21st February 2025.
