Áras Éanna – Call for Artists in Residence (in absentia)
Áras Éanna’s Artist in Residence programme has seen national and International artists come to Inis Oírr to create and make great Art. Due to the Coronavirus 19 restrictions, Áras Éanna Arts Centre is closed. Despite this Aras Eanna in partnership with Ealaín na Gaeltachta, Galway County Council Arts Office and Galway City Arts Office are offering three residencies (in absentia). We are offering artists the opportunity to create work, albeit from their own home or studio and with the spirit and inspiration of the Inis Oírr in mind.
