Interest in culture and the arts in Botswana has recently increased significantly, both nationally and globally. The Botswana Society for the Arts (BSA) is a non-profit Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) registered in 1996 whose mission is to promote Botswana culture, especially in the field of the visual and performing arts. The BSA is acutely aware of the abundance of local talent that has so far remained unexploited. The building of the School of Arts will give people the opportunity to discover and develop their talents, in both the visual and performing arts, and to compete on an equal footing with international artists, both locally and internationally. The global objective is to contribute to the establishment of the first National School of Arts in Botswana (including its first purpose-built theatre). The specific objectives consist to carry out a Needs Assessment to inform a blueprint for the development of a programme of courses for the Botswana National School of Arts and to identify potential sources of funding for the construction and sustainability of the School.
