Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is inviting proposals from individual artists or artist groups for sound-based art projects, connected to the new Ballyogan Library at the Samuel Beckett Civic Campus. As the fastest growing area in the County, with a young and culturally diverse population, this is an exciting opportunity to connect with the area and its communities.
There are two commission opportunities available with a budget of €11,000 each.
Proposed projects should focus on one of the following audiences and themes:
- Exploring memories and histories of Ballyogan over the years with older/retired people living locally
- Exploring future visions of Ballyogan and the library of the future with young people (aged 12-18).
Artists should be open to talking to people in these groups to help shape the sound artworks.
The deadline for applications is Monday, 13 October 2025, at 2pm.
The timeline for these projects is January to March 2026.
Site Visit
A site visit at Ballyogan Library will take place on Tuesday 16 September at 12:30pm for anyone interested in applying for this opportunity who would like to learn more about the area. Please email arts@dlrcoco.ie to confirm your place with the subject line “Ballyogan Library Commission”.
