Cow House Studios Art Educator Residency

Each year during the spring Cow House Studios provide residency opportunities to artists teaching at second or third level institutions. We believe a meaningful and engaging art education is rooted in teachers maintaining their own artistic practice. Committed educators are often challenged to find the time necessary to focus on their own work. Our residencies provide uninterrupted time to think and create, to develop new ideas, and engage with an intimate community of artists in a unique environment.

Applications are open to both Irish and international, second and third level educators working in any visual art medium. Applicants may apply for a one, two, three or four week stay. At any given time there will be up to four artists residing at the studios. Cow House Studios provide shared accommodation, and twenty-four hour access to the studio and facilities. The 343 m2 (3700 ft2) open plan space contains a wood shop, darkroom and computer lab. Generous individual spaces are provided, each with abundant natural light.

Successful applicants are responsible for travel, art materials and living expenses. Participants will be asked to contribute €40 per week for consumables, studio and accommodation maintenance.
