Artist Residency Programme

Airt, West Kerry Gaeltacht

Airt invites artists to apply for our annual winter residency programme. Set in the inspiring landscape of the west Kerry Gaeltacht, this residency offers dedicated time and space to focus deeply on your practice — your Airt. Surrounded by wide skies, Atlantic ocean views, and untouched countryside, Airt is a place for reflection, exploration and meaningful creative work.
Located just 7 miles west of Dingle town, Airt sits in a calm, picturesque and somewhat isolated part of the world — ideal for artists seeking quiet immersion in their work. Residency rooms are available during the winter months, with space for up to 9 artists at one time. Residents have access to shared kitchen facilities on a self-service basis and to a sauna each evening. Each month, two applicants will be selected to receive a complimentary residency.
