Hello Donegal Visual Artist,
Happy New Year to you. We're sorry the get together in person before Christmas didn't work out but we will continue online for now. First little (big) thing we wanted to share with you is this well funded opportunity especially for Donegal Artists. We are delighted to have funding from Donegal County Council which has enabled us to secure additional funding to offer exchange residencies between ourselves and Eastern Edge. We'll be welcoming an artist from there this year and an artist from Donegal gets to go there (in exchange!). Details below.
Also we'll soon be telling you more about an amazing exhibition we've worked with the Regional Cultural Centre to fund. Frontier Work is curated by Garrett Carr and featuring new specially commissioned work by Sue Morris, Noel Connor, Janet Hoy and Anna Marie Savage. Its been over a year in the making and we are super giddy about the first Artlink/RCC show. We've planned engagement activities with these artists as part of the programme which will run from 15th January until 4th March 2022. We hope to see you there.
In the meantime we're talking to RCC and VAI about a programme for professional development for visual artists in Donegal and using the info collected from the survey to develop Donegal Visual Artists Network into something that can empower the visual artist here thrive.

About Eastern Edge
Eastern Edge is nestled between the epic landscape of the Avalon peninsula and the empty horizon of the Atlantic ocean with every vantage looking towards the rest of the world. Since 1984 Eastern Edge has bridged the Atlantic divide. Our island location is a haven for independent artistic activity; drawing artists who want to be challenged to create in an environment where pragmatic, dedication to personal vision is celebrated. We are a hub of community driven creation; the primary location to discover new emerging art; a place for experimental presentation to engaged audiences.
Eastern Edge will offer time, space and professional support for work, reflection, research and experimentation.
