New Applicants - Residency Applications
2025 applications
As we are still experiencing high demand for residencies, there is very limited availability to the end of this year. We are now open for residency applications for 2026 dates.
2026 applications open
If you haven't been in residence at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre before, you are invited to complete the New Applicants application form. Where we ask you for dates that would suit, please give us a range of date options. For bookings, 2026 is a 50-week year and the Centre will open on Monday 5 January 2026 and close on Saturday 19 December 2026.
Duration
With such high demand, we encourage you to request a stay of a week or a maximum stay two weeks in the year so we can offer residencies to more artists.
Artists in Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, and European
One or maximum two-weeks residency per artist in the 2026 calendar year. This two weeks per annum limit excludes short notice cancellations offered to the Artists by the Centre.
International Artists
One or maximum of two-weeks residency per artist in the 2026 calendar year.
Longer stays
Given the cost and time involved in travelling to Annaghmakerrig especially from international locations, we appreciate that some residents would prefer a longer stay. We will do our best to accommodate international artists looking to book one longer residency of three weeks in two calendar years, starting with 2026-2027 period.
Further information for applicants
Successful applicants will receive an approval letter with an invitation to organise their dates at the Centre in the year of approval or any year afterwards. Invitation letters can be included with your funding applications to the Arts Council of Ireland, ACNI or any other funder.
Having completed a first residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, artists become alumni of the Centre and only need to complete our Returning Residents and Bursary Holder’s form when planning their return to the Centre.
Unfortunately, we are unable to assess incomplete applications.
