RESIDENCIES AT CILL RIALAIG, KERRY
The Cill Rialaig Project in southwest Kerry invites applications for residencies for September 2012 to December 2013. Built out of the ruins of a 1790s pre-famine village atop a cliff face overlooking the Atlantic, Cill Rialaig offers professional 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. While residents are primarily visual artists, they also include photographers, writers, poets, screenwriters, applied artists, musicians and composers, architects, and their peers, from Ireland and abroad.
Cill Rialaig is located in a remote Gaeltacht, or Irish-speaking area. Its cottages are living-work spaces that provide for residents' essential work and living needs. They are very simple without modern accoutrements of television, telephones or internet. The remote location means that there are very few distractions other than the landscape; it is a true retreat.
Residencies are offered free of charge, although there is a small service fee for utilities. Residents provide their own transportation, food and supplies.
The next deadline for applications is 15th March 2012. The following deadline is September 2012.
