The Faculty of Arts and Design at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is all set for its seventh TUT Arts Festival on the Arts Campus from 11 – 13 September 2025.
This year's Festival will be presented in partnership with the City of Tshwane and Tshwane FM. Building on the theme of ARTIVISM, the Festival will focus on AGENCY – What actions or interventions are we taking to create a creative consciousness in this challenging time to address social challenges creatively and to cultivate responsible citizenship and social awareness?
The Festival is part of the Faculty of Arts and Design's dynamic, cutting-edge teaching and learning curricula. It creates an ideal platform for students to put their knowledge into practice through this experiential learning opportunity, shaping future-ready graduates.
By pooling resources and engaging with industry stakeholders, the Faculty celebrates and showcases the remarkable talent of its students, staff, alumni and community. Visitors will gain an insight into how the Faculty makes knowledge work and the difference that community engagement can make.
We will showcase the best work from the Hello Community Arts Festival, Gifted and Rooted in Purpose and other community engagement projects.
The Festival will encompass all facets of the arts, from the design and fine art disciplines to all the performing arts. Exhibitions, demonstrations, performances, master classes and open classes will form part of the exciting line-up.
This is the ideal opportunity for prospective students interested in the creative industries to come and experience what is on offer and get first-hand information to assist them with their future career choices.
Come support new, up-and-coming young creatives, invest in original artwork, scout new talent, or just take a break and enjoy, network and get inspired.
