The Dock, in partnership with Leitrim County Council Arts Office, Leitrim Sustainable Agricultural Group and Ulster Wildlife, is seeking expressions of interest from artists for paid opportunities funded by the Creative Ireland Shared Island Programme.
The purpose of the Farm Walks project is to explore the common ground between artists and farmers, to highlight shared farming and environmental interests, to build capacity for cross-border cooperation, and to connect on common concerns including biodiversity, farming in harmony with nature, water quality, and climate action.
Following the closing date for expressions of interest from artists, the partners will hold a series of site visits to farms in Leitrim and Fermanagh. Following the site visits, artists are invited to prepare proposals for a residency at one or more of the farms they have visited. An independent panel will shortlist the submitted proposals that will be presented to the participating farmers who make the final selection.
