Our Programmes

We believe that every single young boy and girl deserves an opportunity to explore their artistry in various degrees. Art education not only equips youth with the ability to express themselves in creative ways and connect emotionally with others, but it also develops their confidence, self-awareness, innovation, academic improvement, and social interaction skills. Furthermore, it teaches youth to appreciate and support the arts, which is vital for the art industry’s economic expansion.

It is imperative that we teach youth to appreciate and support the arts industry through attending theatre productions, visiting art galleries, and buying art pieces by South African artists. By instilling these habits, we aim to nurture artists who understand that their contribution to the arts is fundamental to sustaining our culture and creative industry. It is important that our students are taught to be consumers of art while training to be producers of art.

We recognise that the most effective way to influence a life is to expose it to “tangible example[s] of dreams realised” (Nomzamo Mbatha). Our mentorship workshops connect youth enrolled in the programmes with veterans in the arts and entertainment industry.

The goal is to provide students with opportunities to interact with individuals who represent what they dream to become. This platform allows them to ask questions and gain an in-depth, firsthand understanding of the industry and the people they look up to.

No artist who can create and produce output without tuning into their inner being for inspiration and productivity. Artists need to be holistically well to function at their optimum level because living as an artist entails daring to live authentically and honestly. The best output by an artist comes when they are authentically honest about who they are and what they feel. It is in this way that they inspire another life to do the same.

We believe in nurturing the holistic well-being of our students, providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive not only creatively but also emotionally, mentally, and physically. By fostering an environment of self-awareness, authenticity, and emotional intelligence, we empower our young artists to tap into their innermost selves for inspiration and creativity.

Providing artistically gifted youth seeking to venture into the arts and entertainment industry with business skills development and financial literacy is essential for their long-term success and sustainability in the field.

Business literacy empowers artists to effectively manage their creative careers, navigate the complexities of the arts industry, and monetise their talents in a sustainable manner.

Understanding fundamental business concepts such as budgeting, marketing, contracts, and intellectual property rights enables artists to make informed decisions, negotiate fair deals, and protect their artistic endeavours. By equipping young artists with these essential skills, we not only empower them to thrive professionally but also contribute to the growth and vitality of the arts community as a whole.

Many young artists may possess immense talent but lack the knowledge and resources to effectively navigate the various pathways within the arts. Art career guidance offers personalised counselling and assistance, helping artists identify their strengths, set realistic goals, and develop strategic plans for their artistic journey. Whether it involves selecting the right educational opportunities, building a professional portfolio, or navigating the intricacies of the job market, art career guidance empowers artists to make informed decisions and take proactive steps towards achieving their aspirations.
