Bringing Irish and International practices together, the IMMA residency programme aims to generate a fresh creative space for participants at a crucial point in their career – whether emerging or established art professionals. The Residency supports participants to leave IMMA with expanded possibilities, new networks, and work.
Residents are encouraged to propose the dissemination of their art practice through various contexts that come to light during their time at IMMA.
From October – December 2024 IMMA was delighted to host Katie Breckon as part of an exchange with Fremantle Arts Centre (FAC) in Western Australia. Reciprocal artist Kate O’Shea is currently on residency at FAC from March – May 2025. FAC is both a cultural and a learning precinct situated in Walyalup (Fremantle) on Whadjuk Nyoongar Boodjar in the centre of a city celebrated for its innovation, culture and creativity, shaped by the many communities who call it home.
The IMMA residency programme dates back to 1995. Our Artist Directory includes residency artists from 2004 to the present day. To search an artist within the directory please select in the dropdown menu the ‘Residency Artist’ filter. We are working to add the entire archive to the Directory, but in the interim you can view a list of residents from 1995 – 2004 below.
