Administrative history
Community Arts Project (CAP) was established in Cape Town in the period following the Soweto uprisings (1976). By the late 1980s two CAPs had emerged: the ‘art school’ (Chapel Street, Woodstock) and the Media Project (Community House, Salt River). The latter constituted as an independent trust (Media Works), before joining again with the mother body to form the Arts & Media Access Centre. CAP/AMAC closed in 2008.
