The IMMA residency has multiple programming strands, which means participants often encounter many different practices and projects over the course of a residency at IMMA. We believe these overlaps are core to the expansive nature of the IMMA residency experience, and help to broaden networking possibilities available to residents.

• The duration of a Residency at IMMA can vary from one week to one year and is often dependent on whether it’s an open call, a partnership or an invited opportunity. IMMA’s Open Calls usually have specific timeframes to respond to.
• The International Visitors Programme for curators offers short stays from three days to one week.
• Production Residencies in partnership with sister institutions have variable short timelines.

The residency operates in the converted coach houses adjacent to the main museum building. There are several studios dedicated to the programme.

The onsite communal house, called The Flanker, provides a private room for each resident with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities, the house can support live-in wheel chair access on the ground floor. In addition to the communal house there are three onsite apartments. All facilities are self-catering and are fully equipped with necessary appliances and living basics including bed-linens, towels and laundry facilities. Each studio space has heating, furnishings and access to a basic tool kit. There is wireless internet throughout the campus.

Not all artists on residency opt to live onsite, some may decide to take a studio only residency and other researchers or guests may only need accommodation, access to resources is dependant on the focus and output of the residency.
