Three-Month Residency, 3 May – 30 July
Deadline: 29 January 2010
In 2010 Cove Park will offer one three-month Scottish Arts Council (SAC) Visual Arts Residency. The residency will take place between 3 May and 30 July 2010 and national and international visual artists are welcome to apply.
The residency provides the time and support for an artist to focus exclusively on their own practice and ideas. The residents will be part of a changing group of up to 10 artists on site in any one week and they will be provided with a fee, research/materials allowance, self-catering accommodation, private studio and access to a workshop, library and IT/computer facilities.
One aspect of the programme is to make new work and new ways of working available to a broader public. To achieve this the artist will be invited to take part in Cove Park’s public programme. This public programme will be devised in full collaboration with the resident and will be managed by Cove Park.
Cove Park
Cove Park was founded in 1999 by Peter and Eileen Jacobs. It is located in an outstanding fifty-acre site on Scotland's west coast (just 60 minutes from Glasgow by road or rail). The primary aims of Cove Park are:
• To provide individuals with time, space and freedom to undertake significant research, develop their practice and ideas, and/or produce new work or new ways of working
• To provide a programme of residencies and activity to facilitate collaboration, exchange, networking and dialogue between individuals and across artforms
• To include individuals working in the arts, encompassing crafts and the applied arts, visual arts, performance, creative and critical writing, music, theatre, film and video,
photography and the creative industries including the fields of design, architecture, media, communications and digital technology
• To work in partnership with key individuals and organisations within Scotland, the UK
and abroad, to ensure that Cove Park maintains an international role and profile and that residents can benefit from this network
• To ensure that Cove Park continues to develop, engage and involve a breadth of audiences in its activities, including practitioners and the broader public
Facilities and resources

• High quality self-catering accommodation
