The University of Johannesburg Department of Visual Art turns 100 years old in 2026! From the early days of the Jhb Art School, through Wits Technikon and finally to the amalgamation with RAU to become the University of Johannesburg, we have a proud tradition of Visual Art teaching and learning. We pioneered the first 3 year BA Visual Art in South Africa and have a selected group that go on to study at honours level. These are both exit-levels for degrees, meaning that graduates can go out into the industry after 3rd year or after honours. We have a strong showing at both levels and I have curated an exhibition of some of the strongest works to celebrate the centenary of our department.
