RURAL LIFE 1.0

* * *

RURAL LIFE 1.0 is the new art project at Brown Mountain Diamond in 2025. 6 artists will spend 1 month here making new work and responding to our rural surroundings. Brown Mountain Diamond is situated in the hills of North Kilkenny an area often overlooked by all but farming and forestry. This makes it’s an ideal environment for making investigative, ambitious, social artworks happen.

Each participating artist will be living a rural life and will be working with multiple community groups in north Kilkenny over the course of the project ranging from local beekeepers groups to African societies, from tractor run organisations to gun clubs.
