Public Art, Activations & Events
Commissions, pop-ups, and performances that bring the city to life with the people who call it home.
01WHAT WE'RE DOING
A long-running programme reshaping the streets, squares, and public spaces of Cape Town's inner city.
About Public Art, Activations & Events
Year-round commissions, pop-ups, and performances bringing the inner city to life with the people who already call it home. Programming spans street murals, performance, market days, and seasonal festivals — always free, always public.
From the daisy-painted Strand Street Crossing to the Bree Street Gallery and one-night festivals like Jazz in the City, every piece is commissioned from local artists and built to be stumbled upon.
02IMPACT SO FAR
“Each intervention is designed to invite people to linger — not just pass through.”
03VISUAL JOURNEY
04WHAT'S NEXT
Making the case for the City to permanently pave the Strand Street crossing in its 2027/28 infrastructure upgrade — and rolling the creative-crossings model out across the inner city.
