Invite for interested persons to attend Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Council

By

The time has arrived to ensure that the Arts, Heritage, Culture and Film Industry is properly structured in Nelson Mandela Bay. The Municipality is calling upon all interested parties and artists to attend consultative meetings across the city in preparation of the official launch of the Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Council on January 24 – 25, 2014.

The launch will be in a form of a two-day conference where attendees are expected to discuss and interact on issues that need to be improved within the arts industry. The conference is also expected to strengthen relations between the Municipality, artists and the private sector.

Also high on the list is the issue of skills development and opportunities for locally based artists and building a sustainable industry that will be able to compete within the South African arts industry.

People expected to attend the consultative meetings include musicians, dancers, film makers, composers, theatre and drama performers, producers and directors, graphic designers, sound engineers, Dee Jays, crafters, fashion designers, promoters, poets, and visual artists.

The schedule for the consultative meetings is below:
