National Arts Council of South Africa Annual Report
Excerpt from Chairperson's Report:
While the report reflects the work of the National Arts Council (NAC) from April 2006 to March 2007 (the year under review) it is important to state upfront that the Council was only inaugurated in September 2007, six months into the year under review. The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) played an important caretaker role from the time the previous Council was dissolved by the Minister to the time that this Council was inaugurated. It is therefore befitting to express a word of gratitude to the Ministry of Arts and Culture and the DAC for ‘filling the gap’ at the most difficult stage since the formation of the NAC.
The year under review presented a number of challenges to the Council. Since the Council was only inaugurated half way into the year under review, it had to ‘hit the ground running’ in order to ensure that the NAC met its mandate and obligations without significant disruptions. That was achieved with the remarkable support of the NAC Management and staff. As an indicator the funding session that was scheduled for the October/November period was completed on time and so have the subsequent sessions.
