Built out of the ruins of a 1790s pre-famine village atop a cliff face overlooking the Atlantic, Cill Rialaig offers artists, writers and other creative professionals an opportunity to get away from everyday career pressures and the demands of 21st century life in order to focus entirely on their artistic practice. Its cottages are living-work spaces that provide for residents’ essential work and living needs, without television, telephones or internet. Residencies are offered free of charge, although there is a small service fee for utilities. Residents provide their own transportation, food and supplies. Seven studios, a meeting house and library and a utility house have been completed at the village. [Photo: official website]

The Guesthouse is a Cork Artists Collective (CAC) initiative that began in collaboration with the Cork City Council and with the support of the Arts Council of Ireland. The Guesthouse Project presents international and Irish artists and collaborative groups with an opportunity to live and work in Cork city. The A.I.R requires a dedication to situating your practice in the house for the full 3-month duration. The Guesthouse is a shared space set up to facilitate transdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary non-hermetic practices that develop through experimental modes of operation. The residency facilitates research and experimentation and the development of collaborations that create new approaches to artistic practice. We invite artists to find new ways of imagining, activating and utilising the Guesthouse building. We are interested in artists that have both solo and collaborative practice and work in a transdisciplinary manner. [Photo: official website]
