Emerging Visual Artist Residency 2026

About the Open Call

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.

What is Offered
