Sharon Dipity
Bealtaine / Cork County Council / Uillinn Artist in Residence 2023
3 May to 3 June 2023
Taking place from 3 May to 3 June and organised in association with Age & Opportunity’s nationwide Bealtaine Festival which celebrates the arts and creativity as we age, this residency supports artists seeking opportunities to research and develop their practice and to engage with Uillinn, local communities and the general public. The award includes a studio space for 4 weeks at Uillinn and a stipend of €2,500.
Sharon Dipity’s project is called The Line has Two Sides and she will share her work with the public via several events over the course of the residency including the events below:-
Thank Uillinn it’s Friday!
Fridays from 5 to 26 May, 10am to 4.30pm
Sharon invites the public to drop-in to Studio 1 on Fridays during her residency, and collaborate with her in drawing and mark-making. Focusing on drawing from the inside out and a variety of drawing tools, she will explore different ways to draw. Join her to create a small drawing to add to a collective wall-piece.
No drawing experience necessary. Perfect for those who can’t draw a straight line.
