Cove Park’s Emerging Visual Artist Residency is for a visual artist based in Scotland and in the early stages of developing their practice. Devised by Cove Park in partnership with The Bridge Awards, this is a two-week fully funded residency: the artist will receive a fee, a travel allowance, and a research/materials allowance.

We wish to support an early-career artist who is in urgent need of the support this residency provides and would benefit from time at Cove Park in the summer of 2026. With this in mind, this residency will be offered via a ‘fast track’ application process, to ensure the appointed resident has the support required to go forward with current projects and adequate time to plan.

Former recipients of this residency include Saturn Akin, Ashanti Harris, Florrie James, Sekai Machache, Rhona Mühlebach, Priya, Aman Sandhu, Matthew Arthur Williams, and Sarah Wright.

See the Application Guidelines for more details and apply by 24 April 2026.
