About our Zoom Sessions

We try our best to describe our summer program Art on the Farm on the pages here but know nothing is quite like having a face-to-face meeting. That’s not easy when we’re based here in Ireland, and most of our students come from countries around the world. To expand our reach and make our time accessible to a larger audience, we schedule Zoom meetings in the winter each year. These are information sessions where Cow House Co-Directors Rosie O’Gorman and Frank Abruzzese outline the program in their own words and answer any questions you might have. These sessions are a great opportunity to not only have your questions answered but to hear questions from others as well.

Topics to be covered include our studios’ history and how Cow House has evolved over the years. We speak about our ethos, approach to teaching, and talk about the art we admire. We go into detail about the day-to-day activities at the studio and how our days change over the course of the program. We’ll talk about the excursions that take us all over the country, the artists we meet, and the types of lessons our students can expect. We take some time to address scholarship and financial aid opportunities for our students, answering questions prospective students might have about the application process. Lastly, we’ll go over portfolio development and how our summer program can help you develop your art further during your time with us.

We aim to make these sessions informative and brief. We know people have busy schedules, so our presentation is 15 minutes, leaving an additional 15 to 30 minutes for questions. In total, we cap the entire session at 45 minutes. We do hope you’ll join us for one of our sessions. All are welcome, prospective students, parents, and educators alike. If you would like an invitation, please fill out the form and you’ll receive an email from us.
