Regularly Funded Organisations
Please note: This funding programme is not open to general applications Closing date: Thursday, 25 November 2010 at 5:30pm
The purpose of the Regularly Funded Organisations programme is to strengthen and make more secure a group of key arts organisations, by contributing to both their operating and artistic programming costs. Funding is allocated on an annual basis and is subject to the resources at the disposal of the Arts Council.

The application window for this funding stream is now open.
The purpose of an Annual Programming Grant is to assist applicants with the cost of their artistic programme.

However, where directly related to their artistic programme of work, applicants may request some support for proportionate administrative costs.
The Annual Programming Grants scheme is offered once-a-year. Organisations may apply for grants on a recurring basis each year. Organisations in receipt of a grant will be required to account for how the funding has been spent. Annual Funding
Closing date: Thursday, 2 December 2010 at 5:30pm

This funding programme is quite similar to the Revenue Funding scheme which was offered to organisations for the last time in 2006. Applicants may request a contribution towards both artistic programming costs and on-going administrative costs e.g. staffing/annual salary costs/rent on premises.
Annual Funding is offered once-a-year. Organisations may apply for funding on a recurring basis each year.
Organisations in receipt of funding will be required to account for how the funding has been spent.

JOB OPPORTUNITY AT SPIRE ARTS
We have a vacancy for a glass artist, initially as maternity cover for at least 9 months - 1yr to begin Oct / Nov 2010 dates yet to be confirmed. There is a strong possibility of employment after this stage either as freelance or PT/FT position within the company depending on the success of the venture.
I have attached a catalogue of a selection of all the work we do to give an indication of what the company does - we're mainly geared towards commercial contracts but do undertake smaller private commissions in a range of art and design disciplines. The primary area of work we would like the candidate to be involved in would be fused glass, but there is also opportunities to learn skills in sandblasting, glass painting and all other design techniques.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
A Master Class “The Perfect Vessel” September 16th – 22nd 2010 Class Leader: Karl Harron
Form: “...by which shape is determined, as distinguished from the material of which it is composed, giving it individuality and a distinctive character”.
The aim of this 7-day Master Class is to achieve a “sublime form”. The process is to discard the superfluous and to identify and develop a personal concept. The result will be a form that is the simple expression of a complex thought and students will be encouraged to adopt a sculptural approach to their work - a search for form and push their glass in a new direction rather than master a technique. In order to develop your aesthetic and conceptual perspective, while negotiating the technical challenges of deep-slumping into 3-step ceramic moulds, the beginning will be with pencil and paper, drawing from the immediate environmental stimuli surrounding The Glass Studio with mark-making realised through the application of accessory glasses such as frits, stringers, powders and confetti.
For more details on Master Classes please contact Karl Harron on Mob: 07979 365 829 or refer to Website:www.theglasstudioireland.com/master_classes.html

Artspace Studio Residencies are available via an application process to artists and other related professionals not otherwise directly involved in the Artspace Gallery Program. On average two residential and four non-residential studios are allocated across the year in this manner.
Objectives
The key objectives of the Artspace Studio Residency Program are to provide subsidised studio facilities for contemporary visual arts practitioners, curators, theorists and writers; to support the development of new work for exhibition at Artspace and elsewhere; to facilitate professional development opportunities for artists; and to foster dialogue and exchange between artists, writers, theorists and curators. As in all areas of Artspace activity the Studio Residency Program is guided by a commitment to cultural diversity and to a principle of support for artists ranging from early career to established practitioners. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists are encouraged to apply. Practitioners working in related disciplines such as craft and design are encouraged to apply, as are museums, galleries, art colleges, contemporary art, craft and design organisations and cultural support agencies. Curators, critical writers and cultural theorists are also encouraged to apply for studio residencies.
Residencies by Application
These residencies are generally offered for periods of one, three and six months. Residency lengths are negotiable, but where studio space is limited preference is given to longer-term residencies.
Residencies offered under this program do not involve gallery-based outcomes at Artspace, however artists undertaking residencies under this program may be invited to take part in other Artspace Public Program and Outreach activities. Artists undertaking residencies for six weeks or more will have an opportunity to present their work to Artspace curatorial staff for discussion and may have opportunity to give a public presentation of their work via the open studio program (artists visiting from outside Sydney will be given priority in the open studio program).
Successful applicants are charged a subsidised studio rental. The base rates for 2011 are $350 per week for a residential studio (overseas artists and organising agencies); $250 per week for a residential studio (Australian artists and organising agencies); and $75 per week for non-residential studios. Please note that there is no stipend or living allowance attached to these residencies. Successful applicants will be responsible for all other costs associated with the residency including travel costs, insurance, materials and equipment and will be required to pay a refundable bond of $300 prior to occupancy to cover any costs associated with damage or extraordinary cleaning.

GLASS SOCIETY OF IRELAND EVENING LECTURE: CHINKS GRYLLS
(Image via www.denisehayes.wordpress.com)
Slide Lecture: MAY 14th at 7:00PM
Noel Sheridan Room
Glass in the South West &
Artist/Curators and why ‘On The Edge’
Chinks will provide an in-depth review of artists working in glass in South West England and will describe how this research influenced her curatorial choices for the exhibition, On the Edge.
Today the greatest number of glass artists in England is based in the South West where there has been a long tradition, particularly in the Bristol area. By contrast the medium as a taught field is more recent in Ireland; they have a strong rapport with Europe and America but fewer connections with England. It demonstrates how rich and stimulating these regions are, particularly for experimentation.
On the Edge celebrates the work of glass artists working in Ireland and South West England. It includes examples by artists already established and highly regarded internationally, as well as emerging artists whose work reflects a commitment to self-expression and integrity.
Chinks Grylls, holds an MAFA in Art and Architecture from the University of East London. She exhibits nationally and internationally working with glass, light, shadow and mixed media. As a member of the International Women’s Glass Workshop she exhibited in the Cathedral of Christ the King, Liverpool, for the European City of Culture,2008. In 2009 she exhibited in Chartres, France, ’Capter La Lumière’ and, in Cheltenham, Swansea and Torquay with the touring exhibition ‘On The Edge’, Contemporary Glass from Ireland and South West England,’ which she co-curated with glass artist, Mary Mackey and Sophie Wilson, of Cheltenham Museum and Art Gallery.

EDMOND BYRNE'S GRADUATION EXHIBITION, 28TH MAY - 6TH JUNE, RCA, LONDON
Running in the RCA's Henry Moore Gallery, Irish glass artist Edmond Byrne's Graduation Show will be on show from the 28th May until 6th June. Below is his artist's statement, and you can view his work on his website: www.edmondbyrne.com
My work is an enquiry into tactility and mark-making on the surface of glass. I have focused on mould-blowing as a spontaneous process to jag, dint and crinkle glass forms. In some of my pieces I have ground back the raised areas to create marks and lines to describe functional objects.
By using opaque colours the textured surface becomes vibrant and strong. This gives me the opportunity to make colour tactile and in doing so evoke the sense of touch. In other pieces I have left the surface alone allowing it to influence the overall object.
The process of making the moulds is an equally important part of my practice, they are made from textile, clay and plaster and can only be used once. The energy and gesture used in making these unique moulds is reflected in the vessels they produce. I do a lot of drawing, in a sense the surfaces of the glass objects I make inherit the qualities of a ‘drawing’.

GLASS MASTERCLASS WITH ANGELA JARMAN, 6-10TH SEPTEMBER, FIRESTATION, DUBLIN
‘Hybrid Forms Using Glass’
6th – 10th September 2010
€250 (includes lunch)
By using only clear glass, sometimes juxtaposed with black glass Jarman - www.angelajarman.com – emphasises form, texture and structure pushing forward the boundaries of glass as a sculptural medium. This class will specialise in creating form and texture with cast glass. It will be an intensive and focused look at what is possible to achieve in a week. We will start with basic clay and wax modelling before going onto more specialised mould-making techniques. The emphasis will be on working with wax and moulded textures and translating these models through lost wax casting to explore the qualities of the glass, particularly surface pattern and texture.
The class will be fully comprehensive demonstrating every stage of working; however for those with experience, a more detailed approach can be taken with lots of useful hints and tips.
Places are limited and are allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis. Email Jessica: artadmin@firestation.ie; Tel: 01 8069010; or go to www.firestation.ie for further information and to download a booking form.

We have looked for clarification and confirmation that there will be a replacement minister in place in the forthcoming cabinet reshuffle. We haven’t been able to get a definite response on that. ! !
For this reason we ask that you join us in making contact with your local government representative and ask that they lobby for the retention of an Arts minister at the Cabinet table.
We suggest that you personalise the following paragraph with details of the importance that you place on the role of having the arts represented in cabinet.
"In the forthcoming reshuffle, the government must show its commitment to the arts by the appointment of a Minister of Arts, Sport & Tourism to replace outgoing Minister Cullen"
You will find a list of Dail members here
We are keeping the message simple, and encourage you to add some personal lines as well.
Many thanks for your continued support of Visual Artists Ireland.

SCULPTURE IN THE PARKLANDS LAUNCHES INNOVATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMME
Sculpture in the Parklands has recently received Heritage Council funding for an innovative education programme that explores the boundaries between art, science and technology. Internationally renowned artist and scientist Brandon Ballengee will deliver an education programme over a two-week period from July 19th to July 30th that will focus on the rich biodiversity of the Lough Boora Parklands. The programme will include a week-long education programme for primary school age children, one-day workshops for all ages and a series of lectures and night walks to discover the rich nocturnal biodiversity of the Boora bogs.
Since 1996, Ballengee has collaborated with scientists to create hybrid environmental art/ecological research projects. He is directly involved with field study research and uses the visual impact of science to engage the public in a discussion of broader environmental issues.
During Brandon’s residency he will install a large canvas screen into the sculpture park entitled Love Motel for Insects. The installation will use ultra violet lights on the enormous blank canvas to attract insects and this will create an opportunity for public interaction with nocturnal arthropods, which are not often seen. This is an ongoing project that has been installed across the world from tropical rain forests, inner city bus stops, Brownfield sites, Scottish Highlands, German city centres and Venetian boats as part of the Venice Biennial. At each site the insects arrive onto the canvas to reproduce and create pheromone paintings! Members of the public will be invited to participate in night walks to the Love Motel installation and Brandon will talk about our nocturnal insect friends as well as document the rich insect biodiversity in t! he landscape. The last weekend of the residency will culminate with an Insect Festival, which will exhibit the artwork and insect documentation over the two preceding two weeks.
Sculpture in the Parklands will host a free public lecture: Of Audacious Insects and Cryptic Amphibians: Experiencing the Biodiversity of the Bogs by Brandon Ballengee at 7.30pm on April 29th in Teach Lea community hall. For further information keep an eye on the website
