The Model is pleased to invite established artists to submit proposals for consideration for large-scale public presentations in our galleries during the period 2027–2030.

We welcome proposals across all forms of the visual arts. We are particularly interested in hearing from artists whose work aligns with The Model’s mission and vision, available here.

Priority will be given to:

•  Artists with a minimum of 10 years of professional practice, including a track record of solo exhibitions in Ireland and/or internationally;
•  Projects that demonstrate strong potential for dynamic and meaningful public engagement;
•  Proposals rooted in the visual arts that incorporate a multidisciplinary dimension;
•  Proposals that respond to ideas and themes within The Niland Collection.

Proposals must include the following materials in order to be considered:

•  Artist’s curriculum vitae;
•  Artist’s statement;
•  Project proposal (2 pages max);
•  Images of previous work;
•  Press pack (if available).

The Model will initiate conversations only with artists whose proposals strongly align with our mission, vision, and the priorities outlined above. Please note that submitting a proposal does not guarantee selection or development.

Proposals should be sent in PDF format to proposal@themodel.ie by 5pm on Monday, 16 March 2026.
