  • To be considered for for either awards, your interest must be registered by 6 June. Awards will be granted based on both the merit of the application and the work on display at the respective graduate exhibitions. 
  • Should an applicant have other obligations or opportunities, this will be taken into  consideration and the residency may be postponed/expedited. 
  • Due to the limited resources of our artist-run organisation, we are unfortunately not in a position to visit degree shows outside of Limerick (LSAD) and Cork (CCAD) in order to consider applicants outside of these colleges.  We do however have a number of different membership options for new graduates which you are welcome to apply for at info@sample-studios.com.
