The Acting Director-General of Arts & Culture, Mr Vuyo Jack will be launching the Creative Arts Incubators Programme in Africa Month to give impetus on the importance of community development using the Arts. The launch will be at the State Theatre Pretoria, Gauteng on Wednesday, 20 May 2015.
This is part of the implementation of the Mzansi Golden Economy strategy that aims to unleash the economic potential of the creative sector through large-scale investment.
Essentially, the Arts Incubators will provide a platform for the sector to create employment and provide skills and training towards economic self-reliance.
Also, the incubators will enable the sector to develop and measure the output of locally developed content in terms of music, artworks, films, arts and craft and stage productions amongst other artistic disciplines.
