Tulipamwe Namibia has extended its activities to include a residential program.

Since 1997, one or more artists participating in the annual workshop have been requested to extend their time in Namibia to work with visual arts students from different institutions as well as established artists. This has primarily taken the form of the community workshops immediately following Tulipamwe.

A more intensive residency program has been formalised over the past years. Artists are identified on the basis of the contribution that they may make to the development of visual arts in Namibia as a whole by way of teaching and simultaneously developing their own work. The artist in residence is expected to share experiences and skills as well as prepare an exhibition towards the end of the residency period.

The SADC Residency specifically sources artists in the southern african region. This program allows for one artist to live and work in Namibia for a three month period and is funded by the Ford Foundation.
