Deadline: 10 February, 4pm 

The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, Newbliss, Co. Monaghan, is a residential workplace for artists, dedicated to supporting and facilitating creativity within a welcoming, home-like environment.

The Friends of the F.E. McWilliam Gallery and Studio invite professional visual artists born in, or resident in, the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough, to apply for a one week residency at The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, Co. Monaghan. The Bursary covers one week full board accommodation in the Big House, the use of a studio and £100 for expenses. The bursary has been established in memory of Dr Maurna Crozier (1942−2015) who was a founding member of the Friends of the F.E. McWilliam Gallery, a member of the F.E. McWilliam Programming Committee and a Board member of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre.

Maurna had a lifelong commitment to enlarging cultural life in Northern Ireland. She served on the boards and committees of many of Northern Ireland’s major cultural institutions, including the Arts Council of Northern Ireland; National Museums and Galleries for Northern Ireland; Northern Ireland Museums Councill; the Linen Hall Library; the Historic Monuments Council and the Crescent Arts Centre.

Interested artists should submit a proposal detailing, in less than 1000 words, a specific project for which they require the bursary and residency at Annaghmakerrig. Please also include an up to date CV and 5 images of recent work. Applications will be accepted by email or by post before the deadline.
