About

Artfarm Residency, nestled in a rural setting, offers a unique artistic retreat within an old style two-bedroom stone cottage, emphasizing a self-catering, self-reliant lifestyle. With no landline, internet, or TV, and varying mobile coverage, the residency fosters creativity in harmony with nature, encouraging residents to live with a light ecological footprint, adhering to zero waste principles. The residency is ideal for those comfortable with solitude and keen on engaging with the local community and ecology. Offering bicycles for transportation and emphasizing sustainable living, Artfarm welcomes collaborative projects and individuals focused on ecology, climate emergency, and place-based practices. It supports socially engaged practice, ecology, and activism, situated in a region known for its small farms, wetlands, and conservation efforts, with local amenities and public transport within reach. Fees cover maintenance while promoting a 'Leave no Trace' ethos, and the community-oriented residency encourages applications from those sharing its sustainable and creative ideals.
