Arts and Culture to sponsor ACT | UJ Arts & Culture
Conference registration through Mzansi Golden Economy.
The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) is proud to support
the Arts and Culture Trust (ACT) and University of Johannesburg Arts &
Culture Conference under the theme “Creatives Make It Happen.” The conference,
presented in partnership with the British Council Connect ZA, will take place
from March 8 to 10 at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) in Gauteng.
Funded through DAC’s Mzansi Golden Economy (MGE), the
conference will create an opportunity for sponsored registrations to be
available to creative practitioners from across the country. Creative
entrepreneurs, representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as
representatives of arts and culture organisations who are interested in
cultivating an entrepreneurial understanding are eligible to apply.
Recipients of sponsored registrations will be entrusted to
make the most of their conference attendance in terms of gathering information,
learning and interchanging ideas with other delegates with the view of making a
contribution to their careers, businesses and organisations and/or the creative
industries in general.
In an effort to extend the value of the conference,
additional student passes will be significantly subsidised, with an aim of
empowering the incoming generation of industry leaders.
