ナファシ・アート・スペース

Nafasi Art Space, East Africa's largest artist‑run studio complex located in Dar es Salaam's Mikocheni district, runs a residency program that hosts four to eight international and local visual artists for stays ranging from one to three months. Residents receive a private studio, mentorship from Tanzanian artists, and the chance to exhibit their work in the on‑site gallery as part of community open studios. The residency operates on a rolling admissions basis, meaning applications are accepted year‑round without a fixed deadline. Eligibility is open to visual artists of any nationality, though the program seeks artists with professional experience; art students are not eligible. The residency provides studio space, mentorship, exhibition opportunities, and integration into a vibrant artistic community. No application fee is required. While housing and travel support are not explicitly offered, the program emphasizes artistic exchange and community engagement. Interested artists can apply through the institution's website or via the Rate My Artist Residency listing, which links to the residency details.
