The Burren Art College

Burren College of Art is a small, independent art school situated on the Wild Atlantic Way on the northwest coast of County Clare in Ireland.

The college is located in the Burren, a region famous for its natural beauty and unique ecosystem. We are an internationally recognized Irish non-profit college specializing in undergraduate, postgraduate and alternative approaches to fine art education. Our Master of Fine Art programme is accredited by the National University of Ireland, Galway. Our undergraduate programme is designed for students in North America who wish to study abroad in Ireland for one to two semesters, and we currently partner with over 40 colleges and universities in the US and Canada. Our workshops and residency programmes welcome practitioners from all over the world, and our Creative Difference and Leadership programmes are designed to educate non-artists in the principles and procedures of creative processes.
