			The Backwater Artists Group is an artist run organisation founded in 1990 to provide studio spaces for artists who wish to work in Cork City. It is a client organisation of the Arts Council and is also funded by Cork Corporation and FÁS. Backwater studios offers bursaries to CCAD graduates in the form of rent-free studio accommodation for a 6 month period. We provide the opportunity to pool equipment, knowledge and experience and share contacts which is vitally important to up and coming artists, as it helps to nurture them at the outset of their careers. Since its inception, Backwater has significantly contributed to the increased visibility and vibrancy of the visual arts in Cork.
