As we welcome February, the month of love, Artscape extends heartfelt thanks to each of you, our treasured patrons, for your incredible support throughout 2025. Over the festive season, more than 60,000 people walked through our doors, choosing to celebrate with us and making Artscape their home of choice for the holidays.
Your support ensures that theatre (and indeed the arts) remains vibrant, relevant, and a vital contributor to Cape Town’s cultural heartbeat. Every ovation, every ticket, and every shared moment strengthens our mission to keep the arts alive, inclusive, and inspiring. We are deeply grateful that you chose to spend your festive season with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences in 2026.
This February, we invite you to celebrate love in all its forms — love for your family, friends, community, and most importantly, love for the arts. Artscape is a home for all, where every art form is cherished and every audience embraced. Our stages will be brimming with productions that promise to mesmerise, uplift, and inspire. Be moved by the soaring harmonies of the Ndlovu Youth Choir, take a stand against gender-based violence with the production Stand Up 2, and reflect on history with From Hanover Street – a Concert Commemorating 60 Years of forced removals from District Six. Discover the poetic drama of The Lady Aoi, be mesmerised by The Firebird, and the rich voices of the A Capella and Choral Music Festival will certainly uplift the spirit. Experience the timeless elegance of Cape Ballet Africa’s The Nutcracker, the grandeur of dance in the Messiah, the creativity of the second Meraki Dance Festival, and the powerful storytelling of Resilience.
And, let us not forget that this is the Artscape building’s 55th year of existence. Look out for all the different forms of celebrations that will reflect on its history, where we are today and of course where we are heading…
So, bring your loved ones, share in the joy of performance, and let Artscape be your destination for connection, celebration, and artistry this February. Together, let’s show some love…
Yours in the Arts
