The ICA grants fellowships to artists and academics interested in extending their research while engaging with the postgraduate creative arts community at the ICA. Fellowships provide candidates with time on UCT campus and access to the University’s facilities, the opportunity to engage extensively with UCT’s research community, and interaction with the ICA’s Live Art, Interdisciplinary and Public Art postgraduate cohort.

2009-2012
The 2009 – 2012 Donald Gordon Creative Arts Fellowships provided the crucial time, intellectual and creative support required by practicing artists, and were intended to nurture a new generation of artist/performers and arts scholars. Applications were accepted from individuals who graduated with Masters degrees or an equivalent in any discipline in the performing and creative arts. Fellows worked full-time in a relevant UCT department as well as with the Institute’s various projects. Most especially, they were involved in the creative research life of university staff and students, with each year-long Fellowship culminating in a creative project of the Fellow’s design.
