Services & Membership

- We help develop their business skills through a voluntary scheme in which business people may mentor individuals within an arts organisation;
- We lobby the media to increase coverage of South African arts;
- We conduct research into the attitudes of the general public, the corporate sector and the media to inform practice within the arts;
- We support conferences and events that directly benefit the arts including the Arts and Culture Marketing Conference, Corporate Governance, Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition, and Artstrack research;
- BASA Mentorship, is a business-arts mentorship programme, an important offering to our arts organisations;
