About
The Burren College of Art was founded by Michael Greene and his wife Mary Hawkes Greene in 1993. They renovated a Norman tower house, called Newtown Castle, and its grounds. Buildings were added over time, including a new graduate studio and the largest gallery space in County Clare.[1][2]
"The Burren College of Art is a unique experiment in art education, based in a unique rural landscape." – Eimear McKeith, Circa Magazine
The college hosted summer classes and study abroad students from the US. It started the first Masters of Fine Art in Ireland in 2003 and the first studio-based PhD in 2007, both conferred by the National University of Ireland, Galway. In 2007 Circa Art Magazine described the college as a "high-standard, third-level art education cheek by jowl with Clare’s grykes and clints".[1]
