“We weren’t specific about the art form because we want to give the artist space to develop new ideas and we think this will be attractive to the artist.artists from a variety of artistic and creative disciplines. ”

Artists are welcome to apply for this opportunity by contacting Erin Hamilton, Irish Language Officer at [email protected].

One artist will be chosen to take his idea forward.
