The Woolgathering Residency on the West Coast of Wales is waiting for you.​

​

This is a residency with a difference, hosted and preformed by the (C.I.A.) ringmasters, from their base near Harlech, in Eryri. We pride ourselves on a collaborative, experimental, and engaging approach that draws inspiration from the carnivalesque, the absurd, and physical performative actions. With a focus on contemporary art practices and theory, we foster an environment that encourages participants to push the boundaries of their creative thinking through actions, where no idea is too stupid. 

​

Accommodation during your intensive, and immersive experience is in Ysgoldy - the School House, where we have space for four artists, and a choice of either the Queen’s Room (single), or the Monster Room (single), or the Bunk Room (twin).

​

Apply with an outline of why you would want to attend the Woolgathering Residency, what you have to offer, the work you would like to explore, and some images of your current work. Your fee includes activities within the surrounding area, some transport, guidance and discussions, your accommodation at Ysgoldy, and access to the studio, woodland and gardens.​
 

​Residencies will run throughout the year, and you are welcome to apply as an individual, or as a group of artists.
