River Park Interpretation Artist Residency: Creative Research
We are seeking an Artist in Residence to contribute creative research exploring heritage materials in the River Park in Levenmouth, Fife.
The residency is an opportunity for a locally-based or locally-connected artist to spend dedicated time within the River Park, exploring its landscape, ecologies, communities, past industries and stories through material research and community engagement.
During the residency, the artist will produce a body of research and ideas considering potential material uses, patterns, textures, shapes, forms or processes that could be incorporated into interpretation and public art for the River Park.
Artists working across visual arts, socially engaged practice, environmental arts, craft, interdisciplinary practice and other relevant disciplines are encouraged to apply.
The residency will be delivered between August - November 2026.

Questions and responses should be sent to opportunities@icecreamarchitecture.com by 9am on Tuesday 18th August.
