Cónaitheacht / Residency


Brown Mountain Diamond operates a residency program for artists. Different types of residency are available during the year, with different levels of direction, support and outcome. At Brown Mountain Diamond we work to support and help artists working in vision, sound, performance, sculpture... the list expands. We provide artists with residential space, workshops, studios, outbuildings and land to use in order to progress ambitious art work. We advertise specific residency call-outs during the year and we accept unsolicited interest, questions and ideas.

Three artists joined us from NCAD Dublin for a 4 week residency in the depths of winter. Much work was made over the month course, in the locale, the barn, the house, online and it served as a very good test of the houses facilities in the coldest conditions, and with 5 people living in the farmhouse together. We had a warm, social and well fed time. For samples of the artists in residence collaborative work in sound, see RADIO / RAIDIÓ for a 4 part radio program (4hr) that was made by the artists over their stay. The program documents various aspects of their stay at Brown Mountain Diamond and was broadcast LIVE from the barn on Dublin Digital Radio (DDR) each week. These broadcasts are recorded and put to video of drives between Brown Mountain Diamond and Dublin, and back. Find them documented at RADIO / RAIDIÓ.
