Cove Park’s Open Residencies (known formerly as Independently-Funded Residencies) provide opportunities for those with their own funding to take part in our annual programme. We welcome individuals and collaborators able to meet the costs of a residency through, for example, the direct support of academic institutions, public funders, trusts, or foundations.

Open Residencies can take place throughout the year. Artists, cultural practitioners, writers, and researchers – at every career stage and working in all creative disciplines – are welcome.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Prices depend upon the length of stay, the time of year, and whether you are an organisation, company or solo practitioner.
