Roundstone Arts Week
29th June - 7th July

Roundstone Arts Week

The idea is to encourage young and talented people to come to Connemara, to stay at Errisbeg House and work, to exhibit their works or just to have space, with peace and quiet. This applies not just to artists in the visual arts, but to writers etc. It is hoped for a cultural exchange between European artists and our own Irish artists, to communicate and exchange ideas. Errisbeg is still very much a private house, not a hotel. Guests are still taken whether it be B&B with dinner (country cooking) or weekly stays.
