The University of Johannesburg (UJ) is pleased to open applications for its 2025 Artists in Residence Programme that has been running since 2022. Designed to stimulate arts practice as research, the programme is targeted at artist-academics working in a range of disciplines.
Opportunity Details
The UJ Artists in Residence Programme welcomes applications from emerging and established artists, from across the globe, but preferably with a link to Africa. Eligible candidates will not have affiliations with other tertiary institutions in South Africa and will hold a relevant post-school qualification.
Successful applicants will be offered a monthly stipend of R10,000 (subject to statutory deductions). The Programme is designed as a stimulus effort and no additional seed or project funding, travel, accommodation, and per diems will be made available through the Artists in Residence Programme over and above the monthly stipend. Applicants may apply for remote and/or physical residencies, noting that a limited number of offices, studios, rehearsal and performance spaces are available.
Only proposals that fall within the following disciplines will be eligible:
• Visual Arts and Fine Arts
• Music
• Theatre
• Performance and Dance
• Design
• Film and Television
• Literary Arts
The Artists in Residence Programme requires artists to complete at least one creative output project within a 12-month, or 24-month period, for projects that fall within the Film and Television and Literary Arts disciplines. Arts-practice research and the resultant projects need to meet requirements of the Department of Higher Education for creative output.
