Parenting Artist Residency, 2024

Building on Satellite, the very successful pilot residency run in collaboration with The Mothership Project, Cow House Studios, with the support of Wexford County Council is pleased to offer an annual two-week residency designed specifically for parenting artists. The Parenting Artist Residency makes it possible for awarded artists to dedicate time to their work by offering all of the support necessary to do so. We recognize many artists discover they must drop or drastically curtail their creative practice while having children, leaving a cultural gap. This residency will support parenting artists at this key stage in their lives, assisting them to have productive and rewarding careers as they rear their families.

Selected artists and their families will come to Rathnure and reside at Cow House Studios for a period of 2 weeks in spring, 2024 from March 25th – April 7th. While here, they will be immersed in the supportive and invigorating environment at Cow House Studios. Childcare is provided from 9 am until 5 pm on weekdays, allowing artists to focus fully on their work.
