Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council wishes to commission two visual artists to create a new body of work which will culminate in an exhibition by each artist in the dlr LexIcon Gallery. 

The theme of each commission is to create a new body of work that is responsive to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County.  Applicants are invited to engage with the geographic, cultural and/or social context of the area.

Two artists will be selected by way of an open submission selection process.  Each artist will be paid a commission of €10,000 and will be given an agreed period of time to undertake the commission. The resultant artworks will be displayed in the dlr LexIcon Gallery over a five to seven week period in 2016 or 2017.

These visual arts commissions are funded by the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the Arts Council.
