Art in Public Spaces puts Cape Town in the spotlight for March 2012 with the Infecting The City Public Arts Festival. For the fifth year in a row Cape Town’s plazas and squares became theatres, the pavements turned into art galleries, and in 2011, even a rubbish truck was a stage! There was no avoiding the art in the City.

The Infecting The City Public Arts Festival, will explode on to the streets and public spaces of Cape Town for the fifth time from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 10 March 2012. The hub of the festival will be at the Cape Town Station Forecourt and all the shows are 100% free/mahala/gratis:

Watch how the City gets Infected!

Infecting The City is by far the largest and most diverse annual public arts festival in Cape Town, South Africa. This year, celebrated local and international artists will create artworks that unlock the communal spaces in the Cape Town City Centre. The art will encourage audiences to see, hear and smell the extraordinary by taking a fresh look at the Mother City, its citizens, and themselves in radically different ways.

This is an annual arts festival that’s not to be missed, and if you are in Cape Town when it happens it certainly would be hard to miss; with performances of all shapes and sizes happening every which way.
