The Problem

The Irish arts sector runs on information scattered everywhere

Opportunities appear on the Arts Council website, Create Ireland, gallery social feeds, college mailing lists, and a dozen local authority pages. You only find them if you know exactly where to look — and exactly when.

Art Futures solves this. One curated feed. Searchable. Bookmarkable. Updated weekly. Built for artists, curators, arts workers and creative practitioners in Ireland.

What you'll find

JobsRoles at galleries, museums, arts centres and cultural organisations
ResidenciesStudio and artist residencies across Ireland
ExhibitionsOpen exhibitions and public shows to attend or submit to
FundingGrants, bursaries and awards from public and private bodies
Open CallsCalls for submissions from festivals, galleries and organisations
Talks & EventsTalks, symposiums, workshops and professional events

How it works

Designed for how the Irish arts sector actually works

01

Curated, not scraped

Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. We check the source, confirm the deadline, and write a clear summary — so you're not reading walls of application text.

02

Closing soon, front and centre

A dedicated section surfaces opportunities with deadlines this week, so nothing slips past you. Bookmark anything you want to return to.

03

Submit your own listings

Running an open call, residency or event? Submit it directly in the app. We'll review and publish it — free, for every arts organisation in Ireland.

04

Every opportunity stays linked to its source

Art Futures is a discovery layer, not a replacement for the original. Every listing links out to the official source — because the application lives there, not here.

"The Irish arts sector has incredible opportunities. They were just scattered. Art Futures puts them all in one place." — Sarah Doherty, Founder

The Show

The art world, on the record

The Working Art World is a series of long-form conversations with the practitioners shaping contemporary art — the collectors who back it, the curators who frame it, the artists who make it, and the founders building the businesses behind it.

Hosted by Sarah Doherty from Dublin. No PR speak. No press releases. Just the actual mechanics, money, doubts and ambitions of working in the art world today.
