Come and meet STAC's Artists in Residence, Chelsea Canavan & Aideen Barry at 1pm on Thursday 25th June. Peek behind the scenes to see what they’ve been up to and hear about their process. Chelsea Canavan is an interdisciplinary artist, creative producer, and educator whose work explores place and systems of social ecology through collaborative practices. With a background in socially engaged art and design, her projects often take the form of participatory workshops, installations, and research-led engagements. Aideen Barry is a conceptual artist based in Ireland with an international multifaceted practice spanning filmmaking, performance, experimental lens-based media, drawing, and sculpture. Her work employs visual trickery to create a heightened suspension of reality, with a central theme of exploring sinister systems. Barry is a member of Aosdána and the Royal Hibernian Academy, and her work is held in private collections and public museum collections worldwide. Our STAC residency programme 2026 is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Tipperary County Council.
