FUNDED RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITIES 2012/2013
Funded residencies are awarded by direct invitation or following an application process. Artists on residency are given the time, space, freedom and financial support to concentrate on the development of their work. Cove Park provides a supportive context in which artists can devise new projects, experiment and engage with artists working in different fields or with different approaches to their practice. Cove Park is happy to support and facilitate the production of specific projects during residencies and, equally, to ensure that those artists who wish to develop new ideas without the constraints of the completion of a final piece of work are free to do so. The opportunity for individual research and development is enhanced through the interaction and discussion that takes place between the artists on residency. This is promoted through a series of informal events, talks and presentations.
Application guidelines for ‘One to One’ – a new programme of funded one and two-week residencies in 2012 for artists working collaboratively – will be posted on this site soon. Application guidelines for Literature, Crafts and Visual Arts residencies in 2013 will be available in the autumn of this year.
HOW TO BOOK FOR THE FIELDING PROGRAMME
To book, contact Polly Clark by email or phone to discuss your project (if coming on the Mentored programme) and your preferred dates. When you book, you receive a Handbook detailing all the practical aspects of your stay. We will send you a booking form and hold unsecured bookings for up to two weeks; a 50% deposit secures the booking. Group retreats are booked by one person with a single fee payable.
