Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) have launched an open call for their fully funded 2027 Museum Fellowship Programme. The year-long initiative offers emerging African art professionals a combination of practical museum training and postgraduate academic study, aiming to develop the next generation of curators, researchers, and arts professionals on the continent.
The programme addresses a critical need for professional development and institutional capacity building within Africa's art and heritage sectors. By integrating hands-on experience in key museum departments with academic rigor, it seeks to strengthen the continent's curatorial and research infrastructure, fostering a sustainable future for contemporary African art discourse and museum practice.
