Open Call: InnLyte Studio Series (Short Documentary Films)

Open Call: Be Part of the InnLyte Studio Series

Are you a visual artist or maker based in Ireland with a physical studio space? Have you experienced how creativity can support your wellbeing or mental health?

The InnLyte Studio Series is specifically focused on visual artists and makers working in a physical studio space. This includes those who work with materials like paint, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, textiles, mixed media, or any other tactile, visual art forms.

Basic requirements to apply:
– Artists/ makers based in Ireland
– A physical studio space (you’ll upload photos or a link in the form)
– A short reflection on how art has impacted your life, healing, or mental health journey
– Link to Instagram and (optional) website

Your studio visit might include photography, video, and a written story — featured on innlyte.com and social media, with clips potentially shared on YouTube, Reels, and TikTok.

This is an independent and self-funded project by Dee Stoppa/Portfolio — there’s no payment, but selected artists will receive professional photographs and be part of a meaningful conversation.

Open call is ongoing — Apply Here:

If your application is successful, we’ll be in touch to schedule a visit (timing may vary depending on your location).

FAQ: There is no fee for artists and makers featured in the Studio Series at any stage of the process. We believe it is a win-win collaboration: the artist benefits from the mini-documentary and professional photography, while we build a beautiful and inspiring library of resources on our social media platforms, including YouTube.

Please note:

At this time, the series does not include movement-based or verbal practices such as yoga, coaching, holistic therapies, energy work, sound healing, writing, or spoken word. While these practices are deeply valuable and absolutely contribute to wellbeing, this particular project is designed to explore how visual and material-based creativity supports mental health and personal growth — within the context of a physical studio environment.

Thank you so much for helping me keep this project aligned with its intention.

Season 1 Testimonial

"Working with Dominika on her Innlyte documentary series has been such a joy and an honour. The care, artistry, and intuition she brings to her work are extraordinary. She has a real gift for seeing the heart of a story and capturing it so beautifully on film. The episode she created about Josie’s Botanicals moved me deeply. It reflects not only my brand but also the emotion, heritage, and purpose behind it — in such an authentic and uplifting way. Her ability to weave creativity, mindfulness, and mental health together through storytelling is truly special. I’m so grateful for the sensitivity and soul she brought to every part of the process. The final video is something I’ll treasure and proudly share as it tells my story more powerfully than words ever could. Thank you, Dominika, for creating something so meaningful — and for shining such a gentle light on the healing power of creativity."
