The Director General of Arts & Culture, Vuyo Jack launched the Creative Arts Incubators Programme at The Playhouse Company in Durban recently.
This initiative 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. In addition, the incubators will enable the sector to develop and measure the output of locally developed content in terms of music, artworks, films, arts and crafts and stage productions amongst other artistic disciplines.
Patrick Kasongo, Linda Bukhosini, Vuyo Jack were at the launch.
