It will also help them experience Ireland’s vibrant art and culture climate. Ireland holds a historical legacy in the field of fine arts, with a rich emphasis on portrait paintings. In the last two years, artists from Mexico and Iran were given the opportunity to enjoy the scholarship and art programme in Dublin. Jinoos, an artist from Iran, said,

“Something has changed in me forever. The AGSA residency at the RHA (Royal Hibernian Academy) gave me the time to work on a number of projects and to develop new skills while exploring Dublin. The AGSA offers artists the opportunity to restart and reinvent themselves.”

Headquartered in Ireland with offices in the United States, Dubai, Singapore and China, Avolon has partnered with the RHA Gallery — one of Dublin’s leading public art galleries to provide opportunities to effervescent artists from Latin American and Asian countries.
