BASA introduces its Scale-Up programme
Artists across South Africa show a deep sense of willingness
to partner with businesses, but sometimes require guidance on exactly how to go
about doing this. Through the programme, they will engage with shared value,
research and building relationships that are sustainable to shift common
thinking within the arts sector, and to expand their knowledge and skills
within business exchange relations.
“The BASA Scale – Up programme will introduce new ideas and
thinking in the hope of expanding conversations in the creative sector towards
greater sustainability of the sector. We are excited to have partnered with RMB
and British Council Southern Africa Arts in this year’s programme.” commented
BASA’s Head of Programmes and Development, Lonwabo Mavuso.
It is exactly for these individuals and organisations that
BASA has continued and grown its programmes to help establish and further the
knowledge base of artists and arts organisations. Pushing skills development to
new heights in 2018, BASA introduces its Scale-Up programme, sponsored by RMB
and in partnership with the British Council Southern Africa Arts and Livity
Africa.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The programme is designed to work with established artists,
creatives and business organisations to give them renewed vision, experiential
learning opportunities, private sector networking tools. BASA Scale-Up
programme will explore design thinking, governance, creative business canvases
and strategic operations. To kick off the programme we start with, the Own Your
Mark artist workshops in partnership with Livity Africa and supported by the
British Council Southern Africa Arts will help artists and organisations “to
step up their digital game and take their art to the next level”.
RMB, a South African corporate giant that understands the
great value artists add to society, recognizes the importance of creating
sustainable organisations and therefore supports this dynamic, intensive, and
transformative learning programme comprising of seven half-day workshops held
over six weeks across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban.
Delegates are encouraged to engage in these workshops, as
they are designed to facilitate an expansive and exceptional insight into the
next level of business experience.
BASA’s mission is to ensure that every delegate (30 per
city) completes the series of workshops confidently and competently. To also
expand their understanding of business/arts engagement and opportunities
thereof.
