The basic principle underlying our Centre's existence is to provide better art education in a more cost-effective way to adults and learners from the various schools within the Stellenbosch region. In practice, this means that only a limited number of highly skilled art educators need to be strategically placed in a specific area and thus only one location has to be fully equipped with the specialised facilities required for art education to serve the community in Stellenbosch and adjacent areas. We are always committed to providing the best possible art education to our learners and maintaining the very good reputation that the Art Centre has acquired through inspired teaching, hard work and leadership over 50 years. Vision To provide inclusive art education to all learners of our multicultural society and to play an exemplary and guiding role in adding value to people's lives. Mission + To serve as a link between learners, parents and the public of Stellenbosch. + To develop creative thought and problem-solving skills among people so that greater awareness of themselves and the environment is encouraged. Our 10 fully qualified subject specialists teach various art disciplines within the fields of visual art and design: Mr N. Koegelenberg Textile Design Ms C. Nel Ceramics Ms M.
