The Admiral’s House is set in an idyllic location on the east coast of the island. The Admirals House is a former black house donated to WASPS by the family of Vice Admiral Sir Roderick (Roddy) Macdonald KBE. As well as serving as a naval officer, Admiral Roddy was a keen amateur artist. The location comprises of 3 bedrooms, a large communal living room and kitchen area, and 3 separate studios in the grounds. The Admiral’s House is available to all kinds of visiting artists and creative practitioners such as visual artists, designers, makers, writers, musicians, and others from the performing arts that may need the time and space to develop a piece of work in an inspiring location. The project itself allows artists the time and space to develop their own practice whilst engaging with the local community and getting the chance to meet other creative people that are using the facility. It is an ideal location for retreat, reflection, review and creative renewal.
The admiral’s house has three studios in its grounds, all suited to different practices and intents. Allocations are made in advance of your stay and we take your practice into account before allocating a space to you. You can find more information about each individual studio on their website.
