AVA in Conversation | Why our Membership Matters

The AVA is unique in that it doesn't have an owner, it's owned by its members and run by a board of volunteer members.
To have them kind of pull together their skills and keep the organisation alive, is something special about this place.

Our members play a critical role in sustaining our mission while expanding our community. We are thrilled to share our interview with AVA’s former Chairperson, Keely Shinners, as she reflects on AVA’s legacy as Cape Town’s oldest non-profit art space.

Support the AVA, support our artists. Become a member today.

This project was created in partnership with Love Yourss, a local content advertising agency. We are incredibly grateful to them for their generous donation, time, and support in bringing it to life.
