Bridge Awards Residencies 2025
In collaboration with The Bridge Awards, Cove Park is pleased to offer a further four fully funded residencies in 2025 for artists based in Scotland whose careers have been impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis and who have undergone successful treatment and are up to five years in remission.
The four Bridge Awards Residencies will run in parallel for ten days from Monday 19 May – Thursday 29 May 2025. They are open to people based in Scotland, at any stage of their creative career, and working in any art form or creative discipline. The aim is to provide the artist, writer, creative practitioner, or researcher with time and space to reconnect with their practice, and to do this within the peaceful, supportive, and inspiring context of Cove Park and its national and international residency programme.
Further information on this programme and details of how to apply is available here. Applications should be submitted by Friday 28 February 2025.
We are very grateful to The Bridge Awards and to Maggie’s for their ongoing support and help with this series of residencies.
The Bridge Awards Residency was launched in 2023. Designed specifically for artists based in Scotland recovering from breast cancer, the 2023 residency was awarded to the Fife-based artist Susanne Nørregård Nielsen. Building upon the success of this first individual residency, we are launched a one-week group residency in May 2024. The participating artists included: film producer and writer Ros Borland, creative arts practitioner, teacher, and facilitator Abbey Craig, writer Moira McPartlin, and visual artist Krissy Stewart. The 2024 group residency also includes a music and wellbeing session generously offered by Scottish Ensemble.
Now, in its third year, Cove Park is pleased to offer a further four fully funded residencies in 2025. We are grateful to The Bridge Awards for making this residency possible, and to Maggie’s for their support.
