The new campus of the Cape Town Creative Academy (CTCA) in the heart of Cape Town’s most creative area – the reimagined Silo District at the V&A Waterfront – provides students with the perfect environment for a superb education experience, creative growth and international orientation.

The Academy’s modern and spacious classrooms on the second floor of Silo 5, adjacent to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), offer exposure to design, architecture and contemporary modern art in a cosmopolitan setting with industrial heritage ambience. Sweeping views of the magnificent Table Mountain and the oldest working harbour in the country add to the stimulating learning environment in which students can create, meet and exchange ideas. Surrounded by creative studios, talented contemporary artists, designers and product designers, students gain insight into the world of African art, culture, and the modern world. In the Contemporary Art programme, offered in Silo 2, on the other side of the Zeitz, students will rub shoulders with artists and international visitors to the trendy Silo District that continues to add lustre to Cape Town’s reputation as World Design Capital (2014).
