Named in homage to Ayana V Jackson’s paternal grandmother, Still Art is an artist residency program focused on emerging Southern African contemporary artists of all disciplines. Founded by South Africa based American artist Ayana V Jackson, Still Art is a decades old dream fulfilled. The residency offers artists a three month stay in the Ellis House Artist Building in Johannesburg’s Central Business District. In addition to their studio and living space the Artist receive a stipend for materials, transportation and a modest honorarium. Up to two artists per quarter will share the two adjoining 3000 sq. ft studio spaces. Our aim is to create mental and physical space for the creative process to flow uninterrupted by offering the stillness of mind and body.
