Meath and Louth Arts Offices are pleased to announce the successful recipients for their Age & Opportunity Tyrone Guthrie Residency Awards for 2024. In partnership with Age & Opportunity, the awards aim to support professional artists aged 50+ to develop their practice by creating time and space to think and reflect on their work and  bolster their peer network. The awards were opened for applications in May, and two artists (one based in Meath and one in Louth) have been selected to receive a funded week-long residency in the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, including a small stipend.

Meath Arts Office is delighted to announce Ronan Leahy as the Meath winner of the 2024 Meath/Louth Age & Opportunity Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency Award.

Louth Arts Office has also announced Dara Higgins as the Louth winner of the 2024 Meath/Louth Age & Opportunity Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency Award.

Meath and Louth Arts offices are delighted to partner with Age and Opportunity for these bursary awards.

Age & Opportunity is a national organisation that provides a range of opportunities for older people who want to get more involved in arts and culture, sport and physical activity, civic engagement and personal development.
