We are looking forward to a particularly busy and exciting 2019, welcoming national and international artists, groups and organisations throughout the coming year. A warm welcome to all those taking part in our current winter programme of residencies. This series of self-funded residencies will continue throughout February and we look forward to hosting makers and designers, musicians, writers and visual artists from throughout the UK. Thank you to everyone who has applied to our summer 2019 programme of funded residencies - we will be in touch again very soon. Details will be announced in March and the residencies will take place between May and September this year. The Scotland + Venice presentation of new work by Charlotte Prodger, curated by Linsey Young with Cove Park, begins in May 2019 and further information will be announced soon. A new partnership with Scottish Contemporary Arts Network has made possible new opportunities to work with the Scotland + Venice team through its Professional Development Programme: SCAN seeks to appoint one Exhibition Assistant and one Senior Exhibition Assistant to work with the team in Venice. This fully funded opportunity aims to encourage diversity in the visual arts sector and you do not have to have a formal education within the arts to apply. Further information on these opportunities is available here.
