For over 30 years, the V&A Waterfront has stood at the heart of Cape Town’s creative spirit — championing the arts through powerful platforms like Art in Public Places, Joy from Africa, Take the Stage, and of course, the High School Band Slam. These initiatives honour the raw talent, passion, and resilience that define South African creativity.
Now, Artist Alliance proudly steps onto the stage, turning up the volume and backing the bold sounds of the next generation.
