The Association of Arts has come a long way in promoting the enjoyment of the visual arts in all its forms. It acquired an uncontested place in the art life of Pretoria, the Gauteng Province and in the whole country. The inter-connected art galleries of the Association are situated in the peaceful, picturesque Austin Roberts Park and Sanctuary and are close to the centre of the city and the University of Pretoria. These galleries have become a pivotal part of the local Pretoria and Gauteng art life.
During a current year, the Association hosts about thirty exhibitions. Public attendance of its exhibitions and other art events such as lectures, art classes and workshops is on average 500 to 1000 persons per month. The Arts Association strives for the highest standards. It constantly tries to encourage innovation and exploit new talents.
