Short Description
As part of the RHA Studios programme, we are delighted to offer the two-month Clare Island Studio Residency through the generosity of a private benefactor. Clare Island is located 3.5 miles off the west coast of County Mayo, Ireland, and the ferry crossing from Roonagh Pier takes approximately 25 minutes. With approximately 160 permanent residents, a vibrant community offers a host of amenities and activities including a café, two bars, a food store and post office, walking, hiking, bike hire, yoga, archaeological sites, fishing and a beach. A Community Centre and Heritage Centre are also located on the island.
Artists must state “Clare Island” in the title of their cover letter.
