IFSA - BURREN COLLEGE OF ART PARTNERSHIP
Geotag  Ballyvaughan, Ireland

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Ballyvaughan offers a classic Irish experience, with thatched-roof cottages and open, green vistas. In your spare time, meet the friendly locals at the pub for traditional music and dancing. It’s easy to see why the Burren has been a source of inspiration to poets, novelists, painters, sculptors, musicians, and playwrights over the centuries.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
See painting, photography, drawing, or sculpture with a new perspective on the beautiful west coast of Ireland. Make a restored 16th-century castle your home as you learn from international faculty through one-on-one mentoring and a mix of courses in studio art, interdisciplinary studio art, and liberal arts, with an independent studio option. Plus, the program includes a faculty-led trip to London or Berlin to visit galleries and museums.
