Community Outreach
All artists who participate in the Visiting Arts Programme (VAP) as well as local artists in residence at Greatmore Studios are required to participate in outreach programmes in and around Cape Town.The aim of the programme is to promote awareness and understanding of the visual arts in the broader community.
In addition, artists are encouraged to share their skills with people in communities, in particular children and youth. Through their work, the artists provide people with ways of integrating image making and the visual arts, in all its forms, into everyday life.
The artists may initiate their own programmes or participate in existing programmes run by Greatmore. Outreach programmes which take the form of art workshops for children and adults, slide shows, research projects, video or digital presentations, exhibitions, lectures and discussion groups.
These events are held at schools and tertiary institutions or at Greatmore Studios, where a communal workshop space and a gallery can be used for outreach activities.
