Their webpages reflect their various activities and aspirations-see: http://www.bsa.org.bw/html/aboutus.html. There you can also link with their glossy magazine Artefacts. It is available as a .pdf. Unfortunately the last issue was in October 2008.
The planning process by the BSA for the SoA has been slow and time consuming, involving the work of many people, but particularly the Secretary, Jane Swartland, and the Patron, Dr Gaositwe K.T. Chiepe, former Minister of Education. Government leased a campus in Gaborone, near the Fairgrounds, for the School of the Arts, where it was to be linked with two other projects: a Youth Centre and the proposed National Theatre. The youth centre is now going ahead, but the national theatre is still on hold. All three were planned to complement each other.
The BSA held a design competition for the SoA and the judges' selected Group 9 Architects' submission as the winning concept. It was spearheaded by the late Kagiso Molefhe. People were excited by the way the project was conceived and was to be executed.
