OFM Artbeat: Call for visual artists to apply for funding with the Art Bank of SA─── 08:27 Tue, 24 Jan 2023
In the OFM Art Beat, Mid-Morning Magic’s Yolanda Maartens is joined by the project manager of the Artbank of SA, Nonto Msomi, to talk about the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP3).
The Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP3) is a government initiative supported by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture, implemented by the National Museum, and coordinated by the Art Bank of South Africa, with the aim to reactivate the sector on the right path of the Economic Recovery and Reconstruction Plan (ERRP) post the Covid-19 pandemic.
The programme will employ visual artists to each create art works for the National Museum. Once an artist is selected for the programme, the artwork(s) created will belong to the National Museum after payment of the tranches.
Created works will be submitted to the ArtbankSA acquisitions committee to be considered for inclusion in the ArtbankSA Contemporary Visual Art Collection.
The deadline for applications is 12:00 on Friday, 27 January 2023. All completed applications must be emailed to submissions@artbanksa.org and info@artbanksa.org.
Queries must be submitted in writing to info@artbanksa.org. To find out more visit their website artbanksa.org
