The artistic Odyssey: from Free State to New York

Johandi has been recognized with a distinguished award in South African visual arts, granting her a month-long residency in New York City. This opportunity will allow her to explore museums, galleries, and cultural events in September, based out of the Ampersand Apartment in Tribeca. Johandi’s achievement highlights the potential of students from the University of the Free State’s (UFS) Bachelor of Fine Arts (BA Fine Arts) program.

UFS’s BA Fine Arts degree offers an extensive curriculum designed to nurture both technical skills and creative thinking, covering diverse artistic practices such as painting, sculpture, digital art, and more. The program is known for its personalized approach, fostering holistic development and professional readiness in students.

Admittance to the program involves a stringent selection process, requiring the submission of a portfolio and a selection form by September 30, 2024. Portfolios should demonstrate creativity and technical proficiency through various suggested art forms like drawings, paintings, and sculptures.
