David Krut Publishing was established in 1997, one of the first specialist publishers for the contemporary arts scene in South Africa. Aside from producing the first major publication on William Kentridge, DKP has been responsible for producing the Taxi Art Book series of critically acclaimed publications on a range of leading South African artists. DKP has outlets in Rosebank and at Arts on Main in Johannesburg, and at the Montebello Design Centre in Cape Town.

 

David Krut Print Workshop (DKW) was established in 2000 to provide professional printmaking facilities in Johannesburg. In the collaborative environment of the workshop, artists and printmakers create limited-edition prints and unique works on paper. DKW has worked with over 65 established and emerging artists.

 

Launched in March 2007, David Krut Projects has venues in New York and Johannesburg, the latter located a few doors down from the book store and print workshop in Rosebank. The Project/Gallery space has hosted a number of exhibitions, book launches and other events, involving a cross-section leading South African contemporary artists and creative initiatives.

Founded in 1925, the Fine Arts department of the University of Cape Town is better known as the Michaelis School of Fine Art, and has a long and proud tradition of producing outstanding graduates. Today Michaelis is staffed by some of South Africa's leading fine artists, printmakers, sculptors and photographers. Internationally the School is recognised as one of South Africa's foremost institutions for the study of fine art and new media at an advanced level. Special recognition is given to the School's place in Africa, and the School strives to provide a stimulating and supportive environment in which both undergraduate and postgraduate students can achieve their full potential. During their studies students have access to an impressive range of resources and facilities and Michaelis's location on UCT's Hiddingh Campus - adjacent to the Cape Town Company Gardens - ensures that students have access to many cultural institutions and heritage resources. These include the South African National Gallery and the South African Museum, as well as some of the country's leading commercial art galleries and creative hubs. The School houses the Michaelis Gallery at which visitors to the campus can view regular exhibitions by local and international artists. It also hosts an annual end-of-the-year exhibition of fourth-year student works, which has become a highlight of the local arts calendar.

Art School

The milieu of Stellenbosch offers a unique perspective to visual arts students: the intimate and supportive environment of an historical university town that is offset by the international, cosmopolitan and culturally diverse environment of central Cape Town, only 45 minutes drive away. The Department of Visual Arts occupies an historic, fully renovated building in oak-lined Victoria Street. With a new look unveiled in 2005, we offer custom-designed studio and workshop spaces for study streams in Fine Arts, Visual Communication Design and Jewellery Design, including an industry-standard new media computer lab. In keeping with developments in contemporary art and design, the department's ethos is multidisciplinary, supporting students working in all aspects of new media, including video and digital arts, as well as offering a solid foundation in traditional visual and applied arts practices.
