Expanding upon the success of ARMC, we join forces

Expanding upon the success of ARMC, we join forces with the Bushfire Festival in Eswatini to present the “Arts Round Table.” This joint effort brings together emerging artists from various disciplines, established festival performers, and industry experts. Leveraging the insights gained from ARMC, our program integrates seamlessly into these dynamic sessions, featuring key speakers and elements from our initiative. Positioned right after ARMC, it enhances the program with a robust schedule, fostering increased networking and knowledge exchange opportunities. This was footage from last year’s ART at @mtnbushfire and we are looking forward to this year’s one. And as we gear towards ARMC & Bushfire, we also have an online session in February that will tackle topics around digital marketing (register for free online). NB: Tickets for ARMC 24 are also on our bio. Happy Tuesday 🌻. Video credits: @infinite67_ .On stage (from left) : @sventemplin ; @sebastian_spring ; @namakau.star ; @sj.nicholson .
