The Claire Short Ireland Residency

Created by the generosity of donors Emer Dooley and Rob Short, the Claire Short Ireland Residency provides a one-month stay in West Cork, Ireland plus a $5,000 award to one Fellowship semi-finalist.

2009 recipient Serge Gregory (Seattle) is a filmmaker who creates narrative, documentary and experimental shorts. His most recent work When Herons Dream (2009) imagines the perspective of a great blue heron as it moves through the seasons and a Northwest landscape shaped by water. His nine previous films have been exhibited at the Seattle International Film Festival, Seattle Art Museum, One Reel Film Festival, Library of Congress, and a variety of museum, gallery and alternative venues in North America and Europe. Gregory’s films have been funded by Artist Trust, 4Culture and the Seattle Arts Commission. He is the board treasurer of the Northwest Film Forum. A Fulbright Scholar at Leningrad State University, Gregory holds a Ph.D in Russian Language and Literature from the University of Washington and is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate in English Literature from the College of William & Mary.

The Paul Goode Ireland Residency

From 2004-2007, former Artist Trust Board Member Paul Goode’s generosity bestowed the gift of time and a home away from home in Ireland to a lucky Artist Trust Fellowship applicant. Working with Artist Trust staff in a process that dovetails with the selection of the Fellowship recipients, Paul chooses the recipient of the annual Paul Goode Ireland Residency from semi-finalists who have not been awarded a Fellowship. Residency recipients receive $5,000 and a month’s stay at Paul’s residence in Westport, Ireland.
