Community Open Day

2-6pm, Saturday 17 September 2016

Take a look inside the new Artist Centre, meet resident artists and get creative with a taste of our ‘Hands-On’ programme at the Cove Park Community Open Day.

This summer we opened our new Artist Centre, the Jacobs Building. We’d like to invite you to come on inside and have a look around and much more besides.

Our resident writers, artists and craftspeople offer a warm welcome into their studios where you can find out what they have been working on this Summer. Either join a guided tour starting at the Artist Centre at 2:30pm or 3:30pm to visit the studios, or explore the site at your leisure.

During the afternoon we will have drop-in creative workshops for children and young people, a taster of our forthcoming Hands-On Cove Park programme of creative workshops, events and talks for people in Argyll & Bute led by our current and former resident artists.

To end the day (hopefully bathed in sunlight on the decking!) please join us for a BBQ from 5-6pm.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cove Park!


The day is for all to enjoy. For your own comfort when visiting the site please note:

1. there is ramped access to the Artist Centre from the car park and level access throughout the building
2. sturdy footwear or wellies are recommended, especially if it rains!
3. as we have highland cows and grazing sheep, please don’t bring dogs, except Guide Dogs
4. children must be supervised at all times
