Who or What is Arts in Residence?
Arts in Residence is a group of individuals dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of the Arts who have combined their skills to present a number of high quality courses in carefully selected venues in the UK and abroad. Our aim is to create an atmosphere of friendship, where the conviviality of the mealtimes is equally as important as the excellence of the lectures. Many bookings are made for courses by Arts in Residence guests at least 6 months in advance because of the demand for places on each of the courses. #All courses have a limited number of places. In order to create a 'house party' atmosphere, we have a restriction on the number of guests at each event. (Given the size of the venue, the numbers attending a course can vary between 16 and 38.) It is always advisable to ring, fax or email us to check availability on any course in which you may be interested, before sending your deposit.

The Arts in Residence organisation was founded in 1993 by John and Jill Couth, in conjunction with Terry Barfoot, the well known musical author, lecturer and educator, and Tim Gwyther, the painter and art historian. Following John and Jill's retirement in 2005, Terry took over the Arts in Residence organisation as managing director, and it has continued to flourish, promoting day, weekend and mid-week events at various venues throughout the U.K. and in Europe.
Arts in Residence events are held at many venues, including those illustrated on the Venues page.
The event "Sibelius and the Kalevela" was held atTattingstone in June 2009 and the course was run by the Director of Arts in Residence, Terry Barfoot,
