This is a great opportunity to join a team of like-minded Artists and become one of the key people to transform this beautiful Castle into an Arts Venue as well as a creative environment to live and work. The castle is now in need of some loving care mainly cleaning and redecorating. The aim is, as a team to work for a full week, on the accommodation areas and then move into the main common rooms.
The rent per week ranges from € 100 -120 inclusive of utility bills, with each artist volunteering to work one day per week on the venue.
There are nine residential places – available from May for a period of one year.
Artists can request the application form from alan.murrayartist@gmail.com .
Closing date is 20th April 2012.
