pARTage’s art residency program aims to support artists in the development of their artistic practice and ideas, offering them an opportunity to live and work in Mauritius. This residency will act as a stimulus to bring to our island a small panorama of contemporary new media used in art making, while also facilitating cultural exchange and creative dialogue in an attempt to solidify the existing international artistic network that pARTage has endeavored itself to build through the Triangle Arts trust network. Artists can work on their own during the residency, or collaborate with each other. However we would want artists to respond to their individual experiences of the island in their works.

Selected artists will be provided with self catering accommodation, stipend for food and inland transport. Some basic materials will be provided. However artists do not receive any kind of payment for their participation in the residency. Artists have to pay for their airfare. Application can be made to AMA which supports travelling for African artists.



The residency will include educational activities including demonstration, talks and presentations to students, other artists and the general public.

Towards the end of the residency, artists will be required to hold an open studio day or an exhibition.
