Cove Park is pleased to offer residencies for individuals, collaborators, groups, and organisations with their own funding to take part in our annual programme. We welcome artists, cultural practitioners, writers, and researchers – from every creative and academic discipline – able to meet the costs of a residency through, for example, the direct support of their own academic institutions or via awards from public funders or foundations.

Our popular annual programme of Subsidised Winter Residencies will run between December 2026 and March 2026. All residencies during this period are offered at a reduced cost. This year, applications for this programme can be submitted at any time between 25 September 2026 and 26 February 2027.

Residencies are self-directed and designed to ensure those taking part have the time and facilities required to develop their own work. Cove Park’s small and dedicated professional team are happy to support the research and work of all our residents, and are available for informal conversations and meetings, in preparation for and during the residency period.

Costs:

• Cubes Arran, Bute, Cumbrae: £495 per week
• Cubes Danna, Eriskay, Fladda: £450 per week
• Jacobs Building Accommodation with adjoined studio, Gigha and Hàslam: £500 per week
