South Africa’s visual arts story is incomplete until every practitioner is counted.
See the mapWhere does your province stand today?
Tap your province on the map — it’ll show how close it is to being fully represented.
Where every province stands
930 of 1,530 practitioners mapped nationwide. Each province is working toward 170.
Why this matters
Mapping takes 10–15 minutes. Every practitioner counted strengthens South Africa’s visual arts evidence base — for advocacy, planning, partnerships and representation.
This isn’t about one province outpacing another. It’s about making sure your province — and everyone practising in it — is fully represented in the national picture.
