Winter Artist’s Residency 2025/26

Apply Now

Come and create…

Come to the Outer Hebrides, stay in Sealladh na Mara cottage and be inspired by the unspoilt landscape, history and culture while you progress your creative projects.

The winter residency is for artists who want to spend focused time on a project, in comfortable, cosy accommodation within a beautiful area . Each residency should seek to incorporate Gaelic language and culture in some way. You don’t need to be a Gaelic speaker.

Residency holders can be engaged and immersed with the local arts scene or as solitary as you wish. Everything you need is within a few minutes walk of the cottage. Residencies are for either two weeks or one month.

Rates: £1100 per fortnight or £2000 per month, inc utilities.
