Burren College of Art is an internationally recognized not-for-profit independent Irish college, specializing in undergraduate, postgraduate and alternative approaches to fine art education. We offer artists and art practitioners from around the world time, space and inspiration in state of the art facilities within the unique environment of the Burren. Our graduate and PhD programmes in Studio Art or Art & Ecology are accredited by the National University of Ireland, Galway and operated in association with the Royal College of Art, London and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We host faculty-led groups from international colleges throughout the year. Our undergraduate study abroad programmes, Global Ecologies Studios - summer school and artist residency scheme also recruit internationally. The summer workshops welcome practitioners from all over the world, while the Creative Difference and Leadership programmes are designed to educate non-artists in the principles and procedures of creative processes. To date, the core of the Burren College of Art experience has been the education of visual artists. Our complimentary programmes explore the relationship of art to ecology, law, archaeology, business, leadership and other subjects.
