Africa Center AIR 2012

Calling Africa's Artists

The Africa Centre, an arts and cultural NGO based in Cape Town, together with artist in residency programmes in Australia, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and the United States are seeking applicants for the 10 residencies available in its Artist in Residency (AIR) 2012 Programme. AIR supports artists from Africa who are provocative, innovative, relevant and highly engaged with both social issues and their art forms.

The programme manifests through existing artist in residency partnerships around the world that are prepared to select an artist from a short list provided by the Africa Centre, created from a Continental search, for one of their 2012 or 2013 residencies. The costs of the residency and roundtrip airfare are included in each residency award made as part of this programme. The residencies are available to all types of artists, but each residency on offer has different durations, structures and requirements.

To apply or to find out more about the ten residency programmes, please go to http://www.africacentre.net/artist-in-residency-programme-2012

The Application deadline is the 15th June 2012.
