Atelier Artist in Residence is a curated international residency offering artists uninterrupted time, dedicated studio spaces and a community of fellow creatives in remarkable private estates.
The 2026–2027 programs take place at Château de Cerisay in France and Westcove Estate in Ireland. The residencies are self-directed, allowing artists to focus on their own practice while participating in group dinners, local excursions, gallery visits and cultural activities.
The program welcomes artists worldwide, including emerging and established practitioners, working across painting, writing, photography, music, small-scale sculpture, poetry, illustration, digital art, textiles and printmaking. Couples may apply provided both participants engage in artistic practice.
