For 30 years, the V&A Waterfront has been a strong supporter of the arts in Cape Town, celebrating the creativity and resilience of South Africa through initiatives like Art In Public Places, Joy from Africa, and Take the Stage. We celebrate and champion the richness of the talent, projects, and the people that embody the creativity and resilience of South Africa.

The V&A Waterfront Artist Alliance programme was conceptualised on the belief that creatives who LIVE their ART deserve to BE HEARD. This immersive programme offers hands-on experience, knowledge, and skill development across various disciplines like: Fine Arts (Sculpture), Videography, Music Production, Illustration, Animation and Graphic Design. With guidance from the mentorship of influential industry leaders, selected participants will receive mentorship tailored guidance tailored to their discipline and expertise.

Now, the programme has evolved into a comprehensive platform that not only includes the mentorship programme but also features exclusive networking events and virtual gallery. These opportunities provide more opportunities for artists to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work to a broader audience.

Unleash your creativity, nurture your artistic talents, and join our vibrant Artist Alliance creative community at the V&A Waterfront.
