Mayo Dark Sky Park is delighted to announce the inaugural OPEN CALL 
for a SATELLITE Artist 
in Residence in partnership with UCD Parity Studios, UCD Centre for Space Research 
and UCD Earth Institute 
.
This residency offers an artist the unique opportunity to do field research in Mayo Dark Sky Park 
, a Gold Tier standard International Dark Sky Park internationally recognised as one of the best places in the world to view the wonders of the night sky 
. It showcases some of the darkest, most pristine skies in the world and is one of the last places at the edge of Europe that is still free from light pollution 
.
This one year residency includes a 6 week stay in NPWS ranger’s accommodation in Wild Nephin National Park @wildnephin_official to explore @mayodarkskies . The artist will have further access to the accommodation for research visits during the year. The residency also includes studio space at UCD Parity Studios, a stipend of €12,000 
and access to an extensive multidisciplinary network of academics, artists and NPWS park rangers and guides.
If you are an artist interested in climate, environment and sustainability and enjoy wild nature, this might be the one for you!
