Why Pretoria?
Over the past few years Pretoria has seen an undeniable growth in the field of creativity. Marked by the rise of many private design colleges, underground initiatives, emerging freelancers, entrepreneurial expeditions and experimental projects, Pretoria’s creative scene has escalated into somewhat of a cult movement.
