MISSION STATEMENT

The Arts and Culture Branch of the Department aims to ensure equal opportunities to all South Africans for artistic and cultural participation and expression, to conserve and promote the heritage of all people of the country and the film industry of the RSA, and to promote cultural relations internationally.

The Branch facilitates equal opportunity for artistic and cultural participation through ensuring a rational policy and institutional framework such as the National Arts Council (NAC) for financing appropriate artistic organizations. Different programmes provide financial assistance to declared institutions such as museums and heritage and conservation bodies like the South African Heritage Resources Agency. The Women’s Monument was unveiled by President Thabo Mbeki on 9 August, 2000. In the light of the sizeable property portfolio managed on behalf of the Department by the different institutions, the Arts and Culture Branch also comprises a strong capital works budget which is aimed at the maintenance of infrastructure of the arts and culture institutions.
