About REFILWE ARTREACH PROGRAMME
REFILWE artreach is an ongoing fine art workshop project.
REFILWE artreach is an ongoing fine art workshop project taking place for the first time ever at BBT; a longer term project
(approximately 3 years moving forward) that has recreational importance and relevance to the province. The greater ambition
is to assist in self confidence in children, art jobs as well as being role player to the Africa Regeneration which started
in 2009. From 2013 the project has produced approximately fifty one technical and inclusive art workshops. The initial proceedings
of the concept are still focused at BBT (Bloemfontein, Botshabelo and Thaba-Nchu) areas. These three landscapes have a recognizable
high unemployment rate, uninformed violence and substance abuse, creative blame passing, and affect a majority of the population.
The situation has come to be an ongoing and an assumed norm to the unmotivated youth and an obstacle to sustainable development,
especially in sports, recreation, arts and culture. Dikaletsa is intervening on importance of art making skills and development,
also we are reviving the art entrepreneurial disconnection back in position for those artists struggling post- graduation,
focused at Free State at this point, also including young artists making attempts to maintain practice irrespective of
the challenges. Dikaletsa once again wishes to continue giving first workshop opportunities to women, children and adults
in totality.
