The first home of the Art Centre was in Fernbank Villa in Van Riebeeck Street, where we started off with only a handful of learners. In 1967, the Art Centre moved to its current location in Blom Street on the Braak. The building complex that houses the Art Centre has been declared a national monument and is regarded as one of the historical beauties of Stellenbosch. Built in 1905, the stately architecture and surrounding gardens of the Art Centre offer a peaceful atmosphere that stimulates the imagination and enables the creative activities of young and old to thrive.
