The RHA allocated three of its studios through an open call application process for 2012. The artists awarded studios are Allyson Keehan, Siobhan McGibbon, Colm MacAthlaoich, Joanna Kidney, Vanessa Donoso Lopez and Roisin Lewis.

These purpose built studios were completed in 2008 on the third floor of the RHA as part of the redevelopment of the RHA building and the future RHA School. Each studio measures approximately 4.7m x 4.9m and is fully equipped with a sink and storage units. There is also a common room and kitchen facilities available to the studios. Easels, chairs, tables etc can also be provided. The studios have 24 hour secure access and are non-residential studios.

There were as always large numbers of applications for these much sought after studios and the standard was exceptionally high. The studios will be open for applications for 2013 later in 2012.
