Mission
Cow House Studios are named for their
practical origins on the O'Gorman family farm, where for
over 200 years the family has lived and worked the land. To
this day, the studios maintain the structural integrity of
their unique birthplace. The vision of two artists, Rosie
O'Gorman and Frank Abruzzese, fortified by the generosity
of the O'Gorman family, has transformed the function of the
Cow House into an artists studio committed to facilitating
contemporary visual arts practice, making artists aware of
a broader rural context, and bringing critically engaging
artwork to areas traditionally isolated from such practice.
Cow House Studios focus is on the emerging artist. To this
end, we offer courses for those interested in the visual
arts, facilities for college, high school and artist led
groups, and an artist-in-residence programme for
professional artists.
