Our general call for applications for Awarded Residencies in 2025 & 2026 is now live!

As one of Cove Park’s key programmes, our biennial call for Awarded Residencies reflects our ongoing commitment to the support of local, national, and international artists, researchers, writers, and creative practitioners, working in all art forms and at every career stage. These residencies offer supported time for research, creative development, and the production of new work. The appointed residents will receive a fee, funding for travel and, when required, for materials, access support, and the visa application process.

The fully funded Awarded Residencies will take place between late June 2025 and December 2026 and can be for as short a time as two weeks or up to three months in duration.

Please note, for 2025 and 2026 these residencies are open to individuals, collectives, and collaborative groups based in Scotland and the UK and in Central and South America. Artists from the Central and South American diaspora based in Europe and North America are also welcome to apply. A list of eligible locations are included in the Application Form. Although the Awarded Residencies currently have this region and its diaspora as its focus, we will continue to support artists based in other international locations through a range of residencies and projects during 2025 and 2026.

For further information on this programme and how to apply, please see the Awarded Residencies 2025 & 2026 Application Guidelines The deadline for applications is Friday 11 April (5pm BST).

We are grateful to Creative Scotland for including Cove Park in its portfolio of Multi-Year Funding organisations. This award supports our Awarded Residencies.
