Dublin Arts Council outlines fall residencies with international artists
Summary
Dublin Arts Council staff described two fall residencies — Chilean muralist Alejandro "Mono" González in October and Japanese ceramicist Masayuki Miyajima in November–December — including community events, a public mural project and workshops funded in part by hotel-motel tax grant support.
The Dublin Arts Council told the Dublin City Council on Sept. 22 that it will host two international artist residencies this fall: Chilean muralist Alejandro “Mono” González in October and Japanese ceramicist Masayuki Miyajima in November and December.
The residencies will include public events and community-engagement activities. Mono is scheduled for a weeklong residency in mid-October and will collaborate with Columbus-based muralist Adam Hernandez on a public mural installation in Riverside Crossing Park; a panel discussion at the downtown Dublin branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library is planned for Oct. 13. Miyajima will return for a residency from Nov. 15 through Dec. 19, with a gallery walkthrough, a demonstration and three hands-on workshops at the Dublin Art Center in partnership with Kiln Room Dublin.
Dublin Arts Council representative Marine presented the programs to council and thanked the City Council for a hotel-motel tax grant that will help fund Mono’s residency. Staff said some of Mono’s prints are on display at the Dublin Arts Council and noted the Arts Council will work with the public during community mural sessions. The presentation also mentioned a visit from a delegation of the Chilean consular office in Chicago for the Oct. 13 event.
Why it matters: council members and staff described the residencies as opportunities for cultural exchange and community engagement, and the events rely on a mix of local partnerships and the council’s grant funding. The council received the update and no formal action was required.
Background and next steps: the Arts Council said the residency work will be visible in public spaces, and it encouraged residents to attend the mural sessions, the library panel and the Miyajima workshops. Times and registration details were not specified in the council presentation; the Arts Council indicated it will publicize those details and that some exhibition materials are already on display.
