Perspectives on creative arts in higher education

Samstag Scholarships 2023

The University of South Australia Samstag Museum of Art Scholarships program will allow a handful of Australian artists to develop their artistic capabilities and skills through a dedicated period of practice-based learning.

The once in a lifetime opportunity for Australian visual artists to complete a year-long placement in an art school of their choice is open to artists wanting to catapult their careers to the international stage.

Each recipient will be provided with institutional fees for one academic year of study and a $70,000 tax free allowance. The scholarship also covers expenses for travel to undertake a study program of their choice.
