BTC, Thapong host workshop :: Mmegi Online

Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC) Limited Foundation in collaboration with Thapong Visual Arts Centre hosted an artist development workshop to facilitate and equip visual artists with an array of skills to improve and make their artwork more magnificent and appealing.

The two-day workshop is part of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two parties towards promoting the arts and creative sector in Botswana. In 2018, the BTC Foundation agreed to sponsor Thapong with P1.7 million for three years to help create opportunities and open a window for the growth of the industry as an employer and revenue earner for artists.

During the workshop various topics such as self taught vs. academics, presence and participation in art events, opportunities and the markets and the role of education in artistic development were discussed.
