Residencies
The self-directed residential offers professional and emerging artists a platform to explore a spectacular location in the Eryri National Park for creative endeavour in a uniquely historic, natural and inspiring landscape. Locally there are long sandy beaches, temperate rainforests, ancient landmarks as well as the Rhinogydd mountain range within walking distance and easy access to the rest of Eryri National Park through good transport links. The residency is in a well serviced village called Dyffryn Ardudwy on the main coastal road between Barmouth and Harlech.
This residency is ideally suited to a range of artists, writers, musicians and performers with the invitation to take the time you need to experiment; to respond and connect with yourself and your practice, whether this is digging deeper and onwards or starting something afresh. You will be able to fully immerse in the Welsh landscape here with a warm and friendly welcome in a supportive environment.
If you are interested please send us an email enquiry in the first instance to mima@tymeirion.co.uk
