• Description/Remarks The NAC is a public entity [Schedule 3] established by an act of parliament in 1997 [NAC Act No 56 of 1997]<!-- business info --><br/><br/>The common misconception around art is that its value is reserved entirely for the wealthy and elite. This because, over the years, there has been a stronger emphasis on the intrinsic value of art that is consumed by few in private spaces, making it exclusive and out of reach for ordinary individuals to enjoy and even relate to. But art, when made accessible and located in the broader context of public culture, also has an instrumental value in that it has the potential to stimulate broad growth.<!-- /business info -->
