African Art Center
About The African Art Center
During the past 50 years the African Art Centre has provided thousands of artists and craftspeople with opportunities for self-employment and the realization of their talents. Originally a project of the South African Institute of Race Relations, the Durban African Art Centre has, since 1984, operated as an autonomous, non-profit organization. For the first three decades of its existence, it was guided by the late Jo Thorpe, who virtually single-handed, put Durban on the map as an important centre of black artistic development.
The African Art Centre is a Section 21, non-governmental, not for profit organization that contributes to the development, promotion and appreciation of the works of artists and craftspeople.
