The Association of Arts Pretoria has as its aims and objectives the promotion of the visual arts in all its forms, the establishment of an active visual arts culture amongst members of all our communities and the development and encouragement of artistic talents and skills.  It has acquired an uncontested place in the art scene of Pretoria, the Gauteng Province and in the whole country.

 

The Association presents each year about thirty exhibitions or more in its three inter-connected galleries. It also hosts South Africa’s most prestigious art competitions such as the Sasol New Signatures , the Absa L’Atelier and PPC Young Concrete competitions. It also keeps a permanent collection on sale of the finest contemporary South African art.

 

The Association’s more than 800 members are invited by post or e-mail to all its exhibitions, lectures, work-shops, master classes, musical events and films. Regular news letters and an inter-active web site inform them what is happening in the art world.

 

The Association’s galleries and permanent jewellery and ceramics shop are situated in the peaceful, picturesque Austin Robert Park and Bird Sanctuary, close to the centre of the city and the University of Pretoria and easily accessible with safe parking facilities.
