During the 2nd summer term, a required four-week international residency provides an intense studio immersion within a distinct cultural environment. During the residency, candidates gain access to international visiting artists not otherwise available in the United States. In addition, candidates examine visual art and culture specific to the region and their influence on past and contemporary art in a seminar entitled “Art History at Burren: Time and Place.” Candidates are provided an opportunity to reflect upon the Burren experience and to prepare for a mid-program review in a two-week studio intensive at Moore immediately following the residency at Burren.
