First held in 1978 the Cyprus College of Art Graduate Diploma in Fine Art is an eight month residency programme in Cyprus for people who want to explore their motivation for making art in the company other artists.

The programme is focussed on you as an individual and allows you to take your art work in new directions as appropriate. This could encompass elements of the cultural, historical and geographical environment of being in Cyprus, but that is not a requirement. Instead we ask you to explore your work and seek to extend its scope and quality.
