Cove Park is an international centre for the arts and creative industries, overlooking Loch Long on the Roseneath peninsula in the West of Scotland.
Set up in 1999 by Eileen and Peter Jacobs, Cove Park offers an annual programme of residencies for artists working in all art forms, to allow them time to research new ideas and develop new projects. The 50-acre site houses artists accommodation (Pods and Cubes – well worth seeing in their own right) and studios.
Our proposed visit will coincide with residencies by four visual artists – Laura Aldridge (USA/Glasgow), Ilana Halperin (Glasgow), Derek Lodge (Dundee) and Tobias Sternberg (London) and two curators/critical writers – Dan Kidner (City Projects, London) and Polly Staple (Editor at Large, frieze) – who are taking part in a new six-week programme funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. In addition, the Glasgow-based sculptor/furniture designer, Steff Norwood and the Edinburgh-based ceramicist Andrea Walsh will both be here on a three-month craft residency, funded by the SAC.
Come and meet some of the artists at work in this idyllic setting, and discover more about Cove Parks activities.
