Fingal County Council and Draíocht welcomes Fingal artist Joanne Reid to The Artists Studio, further to its recent Open Call seeking applications from Visual Artists, from or based in Dublin 15/Fingal, for a 4 month paid Studio Residency.
The Artists Studio is integral to Draíocht’s infrastructure and the Residency is integral to our programme.

This Residency consists of the use of Draíocht’s Visual Artist’s Studio for the period above rent free. A fee of €4000 for the 4 month period together with €1,000 material costs are in addition.

About the Artist
Joanne Reid is a visual artist working primarily in sculpture. Her work often begins as a direct response to chance encounters with the materials, objects and spaces that form our built environment. Reid is particularly drawn to the use of building materials, such as steel, plywood, concrete, timber, and plaster in her practice. While her work draws mainly on an engagement with everyday urban contexts, there are also art historical references. Reid is interested in the history of still life and the human desire to copy and remake the natural world around us. Her most recent work plays with a merging of forms from the natural and the built world.Joanne Reid completed an MA in Art and Research Collaboration (ARC) at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, (2016). She was awarded the Fingal RHA Studio Residency (2021) and the Basic Space Artist Residency Award (2016). Exhibitions include, Sample Set, Open Studio, Studio 1, Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin (2023), Home Bodies, Glandwr, Chapelizod, Dublin (2021), ARTWORKS:Dearly Beloved, Visual Carlow (2019) and Futures, Series 3, Episode 2, RHA, Dublin (2018). Reid is a recipient of the Arts Council Visual Arts Bursary Award (2023, 2022), Agility Award (2021) and the Fingal Artists’ Support Scheme (2022-2024).
