Urban Arts Platform (UAP) is dedicated to people development through the arts while contributing to the advancement of urban renewal. We are a multidisciplinary arts organization and a registered non-profit company that began in 2010 because of a need that young and/or underprivileged artists have to develop and grow their artistic talents. UAP works with these artists in the inner-city of Johannesburg, where UAP has coordinated multiple projects and events. Here, various communities have gained access to arts and culture.
