Creativity requires the perfect environment to flourish, and Cape Town has it. The City of Cape Town is a recognised UNESCO City of Design, and with good reason. Cape Town has a rich cultural and historical heritage, a thriving art scene, and is home to the internationally acclaimed Cape Town Art Fair and Design Indaba. These are two of the greatest showcases of art and design on the continent which attract leading designers, thinkers, artists and investors from around the world. Cape Town is consistently lauded as not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but one that boasts a dynamic creative industry. The City of Cape Town is noted for its support of entrepreneurship and is home to those on the forefront of innovative responses to social, economic, and environmental change. From galleries and museums, street art and carnivals, fashion and film, Cape Town is a truly cosmopolitan capital.
