Cove Park welcomes applications from artists based in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Scotland-based artists are welcome to apply to Villa Arson.

Magnetic, managed by Fluxus Arts Projects, is a Franco-UK network bringing together five organisations from France and five from the UK to create a programme of funded residencies for visual artists based in both countries.

Magnetic 4 will be run in tandem across the four UK nations and five French regions:

The Magnetic Residencies programme offers a 2-month bespoke residency, £2,100 monthly fee, accommodation and access to a workspace, curatorial mentoring and international networking opportunities. The selection committees will be held in September and the residencies will start in Winter 2025.
