Support

Support from Friends, Associates, and Patrons is vital to Cove Park, sustaining our residency and engagement programmes and helping to secure our future as we mark our 25th anniversary in 2025.

Cove Park is a charity and one of Creative Scotland’s Multi-Year Funding organisations. However, Creative Scotland currently funds just 29% of our annual costs and therefore funding from trusts, foundations, and individual giving is essential. The ongoing economic crisis, and cuts to arts and culture budgets, has made fundraising increasingly urgent.

You can support our work by making an unrestricted donation, becoming a Patron, or joining as an Argyll Associate or an American Friend. Together, we can ensure more artists, creative practitioners, and people in our local community will benefit from our work and take part in Cove Park’s internationally-acclaimed cultural programme.
