Social Impact Arts Prize – Fellowship ’26

Join us for the launch of the Social Impact Arts Prize Fellowship 2026, supported by the Rupert Art Foundation and the Rupert Museum in Stellenbosch. The initiative invites artistic proposals that engage with and reflect on the dynamics of social change from the South African creative community. This includes artists, architects, designers, makers, and, for the first time, writers.

Alternating between Stellenbosch and Graaff-Reinet on a bi-annual basis, the upcoming third edition of the Fellowship is situated in the Karoo’s Valley of Desolation. It will provide grant funding to practitioners from a range of disciplines to develop an artistic project grounded in impactful, meaningful ideas. They will be financially supported to develop work over a sustained period while residing in Graaff-Reinet.

Join us at the Rupert Museum on 13 December 2025 to hear all about it.

Please RSVP.
