The Irish Writers Centre and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig have come together to offer a two-week fully resourced Writer-in-Residence Bursary to take place in spring 2015. The award is named in honour of Jack Harte, founder of the Irish Writers Centre, in celebration and acknowledgement of his contribution to Irish literature.

We’d love you to get involved. This Autumn, the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation would like to supply you with a fibreglass sculpture of a pig. It will be 1.1m long, 610mm high and 410mm wide.
It’s yours to transform into a unique work of art in time go on display around Dublin in early 2015 as part of Pigs on Parade, a celebration of our public space and a much needed fundraiser for Jack & Jill. 
What would you make of one of our pigs?
For an invitation to participate, email your name and contacts to pigparade@jackandjill.ie or contact Dave Southern on 087 923 9187.
