The Emerging Artists Programme, a City of Cape Town initiative and supports
under-resourced artists in the early stage of their careers by providing them with
training, mentorship, networking opportunities, and exhibition platforms. These
efforts equip up-and-coming artists with the necessary skills and resources to
further their creative careers.
Initiatives include pop-up exhibitions, collaborative partnerships, masterclass
covering various creative sectors, and an annual capacity-building training
focused on building sustainable art careers.
The programme includes between 200 and 300 creatives each year, building a
resourceful local network of emerging artists from all disciplines.
