Residencies for South African Artists in Melbourne Australia – Call for 2010 Applications

Overview

Monash University has a commitment to cultural interchange between South Africa and Australia. In line with this commitment it is offering residencies for two artists to work in its Faculty of Art and Design in Melbourne, building on the residency program initiated in 2008.

The residencies are open to artists in all media and provide:

• airfare
• accommodation
• a small living allowance
• a contribution toward materials
• use of Faculty studios and workshops.

The residencies will be at the Caulfield (inner city) campus with visits to the Gippsland (regional) campus and will incorporate a one week orientation period at the Johannesburg campus of Monash.

In 2010 the residencies will be from February to mid April, with one residency being offered to an established artist and one to an emerging artist.
