Work is underway on a new multimillion pound centre for an arts organisation in Argyll and Bute.
The £1.4 million Artist Centre is being developed for Cove Park to replace the current facility on Peaton Hill.
The project is being funded by Creative Scotland along with a number of trusts and individuals, including major awards from the Robertson and the Monument Trusts.
The new centre has been designed by architects CameronWebster and is being built by Clark Contracts.
The build includes two accommodation units and two studios, increasing Cove Park's capacity to 12 and allowing a greater diversity of residencies for individuals and groups.
Chair of Cove Park's Board, Seona Reid, said: "This is an exciting time for Cove Park.
"The centre will offer facilities for artists and the public that will enhance our growing international reputation as a centre of excellence for the arts."
