The NSF is delighted to announce the Graduate Residency Presentation Night with the recipients of the 2022 Graduate Residency Awards from MTU Crawford College of Art & Design, TUS Limerick School of Art and Design, SETU Waterford Institute of Technology, and BA Visual Art Sherkin Island.

Join us in the Crane Lane Theatre to watch our five residency recipients present their artistic practices.

Since its inception, the National Sculpture Factory’s primary objective has been to support the talents of artists, at all stages of their careers in exploring and developing their practice of art-making in all their forms of expression and production.

To this end, we have developed a very successful core programmatic strategy which creates the time and space for young artists to professionalise their practice straight out of college in a supportive and productive environment.

Residency awards include free studio rental for 3-6 months with some material stipends; technical and administrative support; curatorial and peer support; mentorship and free access to a number of our educational & technical workshops/lectures.

This year, we have given 5 graduate residency awards to 4 institutions; MTU Crawford College of Art & Design; Limerick School of Art & Design, SETU Waterford Institute of Technology and BA Visual Art Sherkin Island.
