The Arts Council is delighted to announce that it will offer a Jerome Hynes Fellowship for 2015/16. The application window is now open for the Jerome Hynes Fellowship 2015/16, an award that aims to develop outstanding cultural leaders for Ireland.
The fellowship is an initiative of the UK-based Clore Leadership Programme, which annually attracts in the region of twenty-five exceptional individuals who have the potential to play a significant role across a wide range of cultural activity. The successful candidate will receive a bursary of the equivalent of £15,000 Sterling in addition to a training budget of £7,500 Sterling for costs associated with their individual development programme.
Commencing in September 2015, the recipient of the Jerome Hynes Fellowship will undertake most of their programme over a concentrated seven month period between January and July 2016. In addition to shared learning activities, each Fellow undertakes a customised programme of personal and professional development.
The structure of the programme includes:
• two residential leadership courses
• three-month placement to gain practical experience in a cultural organisation
• bespoke learning opportunities
• individually-selected training, mentoring and coaching.
Fellows take a total of approximately eight months away from work to focus on the programme.
Previous recipients of the award are Mags Walsh, Young People, Children and Education Adviser, The Arts Council, Jo Mangan, Director, Performance Corporation; Willie White, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of the Dublin Theatre Festival; Sharon Murphy, Theatre Practitioner and Arts Manager; Fiona Kearney, Director of the Lewis Glucksman Gallery in Cork and Fearghus Ó'Conchúir, a dancer and choreographer.
