Art Exploration programmes
Passionate about fine arts, cultural studies, and anthropology, our interns embarked on an immersive art tour through Cape Town's vibrant city centre. Starting from the historic 1895 art shop, they explored the innovative RESERVOIR project space and delved into the world-class SMAC Gallery and Goodman Gallery, each offering a unique blend of artistic expressions.
Art Internship hosts
Wubuntu’s art interns are placed in different sectors and roleplayers in the art industry, from governmental agencies to privately owned galleries, to offer our interns a holistic view of how the industry works.
