Who can apply?
MOMENTUM is open to all professional artists and creatives based in Ireland including – but not limited to –  musicians, theatre artists and practitioners, film makers, writers, visual artists, dance artists, sound/lighting/set designers. This bursary is designed for individual artists, however joint applications will be considered if your artistic practice is a collaborative one.

How will the MOMENTUM artists/practitioners be chosen?
A panel including two external arts professionals will assess the applications. Priority will be given to artists/practitioners who have a specific plan that can be supported by our resources at Riverbank Arts Centre.  The five recipients will be contacted directly before 1st October, 2020. The residency and bursary process can begin immediately (subject to the required space being available), or any time before the week of 14th December 2020.
