Creative Spark has launched the tenth edition of its Artist-in-Residence exhibition, in the Basement Gallery at An Táin Arts Centre. The opening launch was on 9th October at 7pm, with the exhibition running from 10th October to 16th November 2024. I am delighted to have eight pieces in this exhibition.

Titled “Reside”, the exhibition explores the concept of dwelling, belonging, and inhabiting spaces. Residing is interpreted not just as occupying a physical location, but also as inhabiting emotional and mental spaces.

The exhibition features the work of this year’s participating artists, including Niamh Seana Meehan (Co. Down), Viola Wang (London, U.K.), Caoimhe O Dwyer (Co. Louth), Paddy Critchley (Co. Laois), Julie Corcoran (Co. Cavan), Eabha Cleary (Co. Wicklow), Hattie Bidwell (Sydney, Australia)

The Creative Spark Artist-in-Residence Programme provides visual artists and art professionals with the opportunity to research and develop their practices. It supports both emerging and established artists working in any medium, with a preference for those focusing on printmaking disciplines.
