Art School Africa is a non-profit organization that serves as an informative web-based platform, dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating the art industry in South Africa and across the continent. In collaboration with the Harvard University Centre for African Studies, Art School Africa conducts ongoing research to identify the key challenges and skill gaps faced by aspiring and experienced artists throughout Africa. Drawing on this research, the organization offers a range of classes called 'knowledge shares' and recorded workshops presented by established art professionals from Africa and its diaspora.

These classes aim to equip users with the necessary tools and knowledge to kickstart or further their careers in the arts. Education is at the core of Art School Africa, and the organization aims to become a central hub for webinars, online workshops, and more, all related to art practice in Africa. Additionally, Art School Africa facilitates networking among artists, curators, gallerists, and other art professionals, providing a space for dialogue and collaboration.

The organization also invites individuals from around the world to explore African art and its ecosystems. Moreover, Art School Africa offers a centralized platform for finding new opportunities such as scholarships, employment, and funding, with the goal of supporting local art practitioners. Future plans include in-person workshops, social events, and internships at local and international organizations to further enrich practical knowledge in the arts.

By joining Art School Africa, individuals have the opportunity to shape their local art ecosystem and contribute to creativity on the African continent
