National museum of modern and contemporary art in Ireland. The Artists' Work Programme is their studio/residency programme, operating in converted coach houses adjacent to the main Museum building. The Programme provides opportunities for artists to research and develop their work practice, and is open to artists of all nationalities working in any medium by application or invitation. The Work Programme emphasises the working process rather than the finished product and enables artists to explore new ideas and ways of working in the context of the developing identity of the Museum and its various programmes. The artist's presence on the Programme is funded in terms of studio/accommodation, relevant administrative back-up and a basic living allowance. Specific proposals may necessitate extra fund-raising with which the Museum may assist. The Work Programme's eight studios are programmed approximately a year in advance.

Three residency programmes offered: International Artist in Residency Program at Cimelice castle; The Bubec Sculpture Studio; The Jelení Studio Program
