Limpopo artists for national conference

Artists from across disciplines in Limpopo are to assemble in Mpumalanga for the Cultural and Creative Industries Federation of South Africa’s (CCIFSA) national elective conference, scheduled to take place on Friday 2 August and Saturday 3 August.

The specific venue was still to be confirmed.

The organisation is an initiative of the national Department of Arts and Culture.

It was formed in 2015 and its inaugural elective conference was held in the Free State town of Mangaung.

The department has placed on record that CCIFSA is not a funding body as many thought, but has a mandate to unite the sector, provide governance and policies.

The organisation was also going through challenging financial circles internally.
