ABOUT WUSHWINI ARTS AND CULTURE HERITAGE CENTRE
Wushwini Primary School was vandalised over twenty years ago, the structure of the building has been renovated and turned into an Arts Centre that is currently serving the community at large especially women and children. Eager Artists NPO after having recognised the potential that the vandalised school had, approached the Chief and the Community about turning the old structure into a community art centre. Permission was granted because the building was unused. The initiative was also supported by community members who all helped in cleaning to prepare the space for activities to resume. The centre was then launched in March 2011.
Currently overlooking the gorgeous still Inanda Dam, along the curves and bends of KwaNgcolosi’s scenic drive on Wushwini Road, Wushwhini Arts and Culture Heritage Centre boasts an advantageous home on one of the steep hills beneath a forest of mountains separating the township Inanda and the surburb Hillcrest.
Slowly being developed as a structure, facing challenges of nature, the art centre has made it to its second year and promises to grow as an arts and entertainment venue, training programmes venue and tourist attraction.
Who would have imagined a theatre in the middle of a drive through a rural area. With ± eighty seats, the Theatre has hosted a number of events that have left audiences from the city and surrounding schools amazed and looking forward to future visits to the art centre.
A coffee shop and restaurant that gives one so much peace of mind as one relaxes within nature in what is perceived as an urban trend.
The small scale amphitheatre has made a history of its own as the concrete stage would tell tons of stories about the artists who’ve braced its surface performing to audiences of all ages.
Wushwini Arts and Culture Heritage Centre looks forward to hosting more artistic events of all kinds and offers an intimate gathering filled with memorable reflections.
