Decade of Centenaries Artist Residency

The Decade of Centenaries was initiated in 2012.  The aim of the State centenary commemoration programme for the years from 2021 – 2023 is to ensure that this complex period in our history, including the Struggle for Independence, the Civil War, the Foundation of the State and Partition, is remembered appropriately, proportionately, respectfully and with sensitivity. 

As part of the of Mayo County Council’s Decade of Centenaries Programme for 2021 and 2022, Mayo County Council Arts Service in partnership with the Jackie Clarke Collection invited submissions for a special residency working with the collection’s artefacts relating to the period 1922 – 23 in Irish history including the Civil War, the Foundation of the State and Partition. 

Application deadline has now passed.
