The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) has announced the opening of online applications for arts-and-culture funding support.
These are open to registered arts-and-culture organisations and institutions, artist groups, individuals involved in artistic expression as well as arts-and-culture event companies. Through such funding DCAS is committed to supporting the growth of arts and culture in the province and empowering talented artists to showcase their skills.
The Western Cape Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Anroux Marais, said; “I am happy we can continue giving this support to our arts-and-culture organisations and individuals, despite the budget cuts we are facing. Such organisations and artists capture the heritage, essence and unique flavour of the Western Cape and South Africa.
“It is crucial that we continue to support this important sector, which contributes to the growth of our local economy, brings social cohesion and creates jobs for many people.”
All enquiries related to the process must be directed to Fareedah Hunter at Fareedah.Hunter@westerncape.gov.za, or Daylene Wydeman at Daylene.Wydeman@westerncape.gov.za.
Applications close on Friday 8 March at 16:00.
