Artscape takes its bells ‘n whistles to Hawston

Every year Artscape identifies a historically disadvantaged community for its annual Outreach Programme, and this year it’s Hawston’s turn. The Artscape showcase will take place at Hawston Primary on 18 October.

A wide variety of artists will participate in different genres, from Classical Western to African indigenous, as well as well-known personalities. Inclusive to the programme is a career exhibition for learners to create awareness of career opportunities within the entertainment industry. Artscape’s technical team also participates, explaining the mechanics of the staging, sound and lighting equipment typically used in a theatre.

The yearly rural outreach programme cannot happen without essential partnerships like the City of Cape Town, Provincial Government and of course the local municipality. In addition, a local organisation is always a partner as well. This year it is Hawston’s Overstrand Association for Persons with Disabilities.
