CREATIVE PRODUCER PROGRAMME

Kunstverein Projects CLG was established as a non-profit art organisation in May 2025, with a mission to support the development of artists and creative producers in the visual arts in Ireland. We recognise that in order for the visual arts to evolve, artists and institutions need more support to bridge gaps between practice and presentation, and build production capacity in synergy with existing frameworks and infrastructure.

Our new Creative Producer Programme will establish a network of six highly trained creative producers and freelance curators working in the visual arts. Commencing in September 2025, the 18-month training and development programme consists of;

Training and Development Days
These sessions are developed with and hosted by our partner organisations, to facilitate in-depth training, knowledge-transfer and peer learning. Our training partners include; EVA International, Fire Station Artists’ Studios, Galway Arts Centre, Ireland at Venice, Mermaid Arts Centre, National Sculpture Factory, Ormston House, Regional Cultural Centre, Sirius Arts Centre, The Dock, The Douglas Hyde Gallery of Contemporary Art, and VISUAL. Our development partners include Kunstverein Aughrim, Cow House Studios and The Courthouse Arts Centre.

Practice-based Collaborations
  • An international collaboration with participants of de Appel Curatorial Programme in Amsterdam. 
  • A practice-based project or placement either in partnership with an existing exemplary commissioning body, or on a self-directed curatorial production project. 
  • The development of a Creative Producer Handbook that documents and evaluates the overall programme.

Participants of Kunstverein’s Creative Producer Programme will receive ongoing curatorial guidance and support, and they will be remunerated for their engagement with the programme. The programme is guided by our vision that Ireland's capacity to produce contemporary artwork meets and elevates the exceptional potential of its artists.
