Associates
Cove Park Associates is a membership programme open to all of our former residents, offering ongoing support via fully-funded residencies, other paid opportunities, discounts on Open Residencies, and invitations to a range of Cove Park events throughout the year.
UK-based Associates are eligible to apply for international residency exchange programmes, designed in collaboration with partner organisations such as Varuna, The National Writers’ House of Australia.
National and international Associates are invited to work with Cove Park as Advisors and on our programme of workshops and public events. This work is paid at Scottish Artist Union rates. Associates Ashanti Harris and Heather Parry joined Cove Park’s Board in August 2024.
Details of opportunities and events for Associates is shared via a biannual Newsletter, which also features our Associates news, including upcoming events, exhibitions, performances, and publications.
To contribute towards the development of this programme, we invite Associates to make an annual recommended donation of £25. However, membership is offered on a ‘pay what you can’ basis and a donation is not required to join.
