DONALD GORDON CREATIVE ARTS FELLOWSHIPS

Applications open for arts fellowships.

Applications are open until September 3 for the 2011 Donald Gordon Creative Arts Fellowships. The Fellowships will be taken under the auspices of the University of Cape Town’s Gordon Institute for Performing and Creative Arts (GIPCA), an innovative institution promoting new interdisciplinary creative research in the disciplines of Music, Dance, Fine Art, Drama, Creative Writing, Film and New Media, and in particular collaborations among disciplines.

Applications should be made by individuals who graduated after 2004 with master’s degrees or an equivalent in any discipline in the performing and creative arts. Each year-long fellowship must culminate in an interdisciplinary creative project of the fellow’s design. At least four fellowships are available of R120,000 each, and some provision will be made for material expenses where possible.
