This afterschool Community based Program is a vibrant youth arts initiative that brings together children aged 10 to 16 from communities across Cape Town such as Bo-Kaap, Langa, Nyanga, and Khayelitsha for creative exploration and self-expression.

Rooted in the belief that art is a powerful tool for healing and empowerment, the program offers a safe, inclusive space where young people can connect and learn from leading South African artists, photographers, designers, and filmmakers.

Through hands-on sessions in drawing, painting, film, and more, learners are encouraged to share their stories and build confidence. More than just an art class, DAC on Dorp fosters belonging, unity, and creative growth for Cape Town’s next generation.
