Artist Residencies are coordinated excursions in which artists of various disciplines from music, craft or visual practices are hosted at different venues to take time to reflect, discuss, inspire and be inspired to create new work. They are a method of networkng and social enrichment for both the artists that travel into and through communities and for the people within those communities that host the artists and share their way of life. Jon Macleod facilitates residency programmes for the local arts centre in Stornoway – An Lanntair (The Lighthouse). This involves securing funding for the programmes and then the selection of particpants and mangement of the residency experiences. This cultural practice has evolved over the decades and Muir is Tir – The Land and the Sea , is one such residency.
