Watershed Studios Art Residency

Watershed Studio’s Open Call! Now taking application for January 2026 to December 2027.!! Deadline: 01 Jan 2027 Country: Ireland We are now accepting applications on an ongoing basis! Spaces are filling up quickly, so please send your application as soon as possible. If you are thinking of a last-minute residency, give us a call; we may have space as we have recently expanded. We provide a studio space that has been converted from an old fish factory and old Hay shed that is suitable for all types of artists and is very versatile. We also provide a living area for the artists, three people at a time per cottage. Each Cottage has 3 rooms with a living space with a kitchenette and is only one minute walk to the studios. The Space has beautiful undisturbed views of the river Corrib and fields surround the studio. Which makes it a perfect location for an artist that wants a break and a place to escape and have some time to think, relax, and do work but we are also close to Galway city so not completely isolated! The residency hosts 3-6 artists and has proven to be a great place to meet and work with international artists and local artists. The cover photo is the view from the Studio.
