Every year Mayo County Council offers two bursary awards to artists born or living in Mayo, to enable them to spend two weeks at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig, County Monaghan. Each bursary covers the costs for a two-week period, plus the use of a studio if relevant. There is a variety of artist work spaces available including studios, a music room for composers and musicians, a multi-media room, and a large rehearsal and performance space. This year the successful applicants are visual artist Joanna Hopkins and poet Michelle O’Sullivan.
