The Olive Stack Gallery Artist’s Residency was estacblished in 2015. Since then the gallery has received applications from established and emerging visual artists from around he world. Including artists from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, Malawi, Netherlands, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Turkey and the USA. All eager to share the experience that others have had in Listowel.

Visual Artists may apply for a one or two-month residency, ideally shared by two artists. This allows both time and creative space for making art in exchange for helping in the gallery. To date all visiting artists have been provided with accomodation and studio space at no cost to them.

The residency continues to forge connections across continents and creative genres. Building new bodies of work illuminating the beauty of Listowel and its people. The ensuing results have been expansive and surprising. Artists have made fast and enduring friendships in the heritage town of Listowel. The residency continues to enrich both locals and visitors. As a result Listowel is fast becoming a favourite destination for a growing international family of artists!

The residency is fully booked until 2021, applications for residencies in 2021 will open in January.

The artwork on auction has been generously donated by previous Olive Stack Gallery Artists in Residence All the proceeds will go towards running costs of the residency. 

We appreciate all of your support so much!
