2007 ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
INSPIRING CREATIVITY EVERY YEAR
A DAY IS A DOODLE
A YEAR IS A MASTERPIECE
Established in 2002, the Glenfiddich Artists in Residence has evolved into a highly acclaimed and culturally important annual programme.
Each year, up to eight artists from around the world and a variety of artistic disciplines are invited to spend a three month summer residency at The Glenfiddich Distillery. Living in a cottage on the site, each artist produces a piece of work inspired by the community, craftsmanship and originality of the distillery and by their time spent amongst the beautiful surroundings.
Artists from Taiwan, China, South Africa, USA, Canada, Spain and the UK have all taken part in this year's residency programme. Check out their profiles to see what they've produced.
