The Tyrone Guthrie Centre, often known as Annaghmakerrig, is a residential facility for creative artists. Located at Annaghmakerrig, Newbliss, County Monaghan, Ireland, it was founded in 1981.[1] The house was the family home of theatrical director Sir Tyrone Guthrie, and he bequeathed it to the Irish nation in 1971, to be used as an artistic retreat. The centre is a residential workplace open to professional practitioners in all art forms. Creative residencies are for periods of two weeks to one month, depending on the time of year, and whether staying in the Big House (fully catered) or in one of our five self-catering cottages.
The Tyrone Guthrie Centre is grant aided by The Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (ACNI), and further supported by the Office of Public Works (OPW).
