A MARSEILLE-BASED artist has been awarded a Cove Park residency as part of the Magnetic Residencies programme.
Violaine Barrois will take part in Magnetic, a network of 10 residencies in France and the United Kingdom.
The programme is based on a tandem partnership between a French region and a UK nation. This year, Cove Park is partnered with Villa Arson in Nice.
A Cove Park spokesperson said: "We are also very pleased that former resident and Cove Park Associate Emilia Beatriz is the artist selected for the Magnetic Residency at Villa Arson.
"We look forward to welcoming Violaine to Cove Park later this month for an eight-week residency."
Launched in 2022 under the umbrella of Fluxus Arts Projects, Magnetic is a a unique collaboration conceived by the Institut français du Royaume-Uni and the four UK arts funding agencies.
