WHO IS IT FOR?

Any artist seeking to build their creative project 

  • Artists seeking a place to develop their work away from the city, to focus their work and be surrounded by inspiring landscapes

  • Artists of any discipline - writers, movement artists, theatre makers, filmmakers and sound artists

  • Artists seeking to live and work within a supportive and devoted making community

  • Artists looking for time to dream and listen to their project, and to be held by making frameworks that cultivate experimentation and new forms of practice

Empower your creative world.

TESTIMONIAL

"In an often busy world, the environment, mentorship and structure of this residency gave deep space to question and discuss. Unlike other residency spaces, Aercwel Mill offers a real connection back to the humanity of the work."

- Billy Maxwell Taylor, Movement Artist
