Sculpture House Residency is a new residency for a visual artist from Paisley (either currently living and working in Paisley or originally from Paisley). Developed by Cove Park in partnership with the town’s Sculpture House, this two-week fully funded residency offers time for self-directed studio work and the development of new ideas and projects. Sculpture House Collective ­­– an artist-run organisation including sculptors, ceramicists, textile artists, and painters – will also offer the resident support prior to and following the residency in the form of mentoring, access to workshop facilities, mentoring in relation to social practice, and taking part in Sculpture House’s programme of events.

The residency is scheduled to begin on Monday 30 September and end on Sunday 13 October 2024. However, these dates are negotiable (please note in your application if you would prefer other dates) and it is also possible to divide the residency into two separate weeks to support other work, caring, or family commitments.

The resident will receive a fee, a travel allowance, and a research/materials allowance. Further information on this residency and the application form is available here. The deadline for applications is Monday 29 July 2024.

We are grateful to Mārama Consulting CIC for making this residency possible. Mārama Consulting CIC is a small Scottish consulting firm established as a not for profit with a philanthropic business model, and interests in the creative sector.
