Clandeboye Estate
Creative Residency 2
Clandeboye Global Identities Creative Residency in collaboration with ArtsEkta
As part of the Historic Houses Global Crossroads project, artists and writers will have the opportunity to apply for one of two Creative Residencies at Clandeboye and Mount Stewart. The two Creatives-in-Residence will spend six weeks in the summer of 2026 developing new work that connects to the project’s focus on global interconnections.
Designed to connect global communities and bridge cultural divides, this Creative-in-Residence will collaborate with established and newcomer communities in Northern Ireland to develop new work that reflects the complex identities associated with Clandeboye, engaging communities that do not traditionally relate to or visit this site.
