Fingal Arts Office in partnership with the Tyrone Guthrie Centre and Bealtaine Festival are delighted to announce Una Sealy and Thomas Brezing as the recipients of the Fingal County Council, Tyrone Guthrie Centre and Bealtaine Festival Residency Award.
Howth artist, Una Sealy RHA is a renowned painter and will commence her month-long residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in the beautiful, tranquil setting of County Monaghan in May.

The Tyrone Guthrie Centre will provide the time, space, and an intensive work environment, to enable new pathways in my work.”
