Applications are now open to apply for the Writers’ Room at MoLI
A light-filled Georgian parlour on the first floor of the museum buildings on St. Stephen’s Green, overlooking leafy gardens—this is the Writers’ Room.
In a joint project with UCD and the College of the Holy Cross, Massachusetts, MoLI is now taking applications for use of this beautiful space.
Writers can come here for some stillness in the middle of a busy city, with discounted access to MoLI’s café, and the welcoming, supportive environment of the museum and its staff.
The room is available seasonally to writers on application, without charge, for 4 hours per day, 7 days per week over a consecutive period of 3 months.
