The Century City Arts Foundation
The Century City Arts Foundation (CCAF), which has Public Benefit Organisation Status, was formed with the aim of making Century City a destination for art. It aims to preserve, foster and communicate the arts in Century City by providing facilities, opportunities, a platform and a forum for both established and aspirant artists across all art genres.
Since its inception, the Century City Arts Foundation has undertaken numerous initiatives, such as art exhibitions, artist showcase events and community involvement projects.

The Anton Smit Open Air Exhibition forms part of the vibrant Century City Art Trail and showcases a remarkable collection of larger-than-life sculptures by internationally renowned South African artist Anton Smit.
Installed throughout the precinct, the exhibition features around 32 striking works placed in public spaces, allowing residents, visitors and those working in Century City to encounter art as part of their everyday environment. The collaboration between Anton Smit and the Century City Arts Foundation was created to beautify the precinct, introduce the public to world-class art free of charge, and provide an open-air gallery where these powerful sculptures can be experienced up close. As visitors explore the walkable exhibition across the precinct, the sculptures add a dramatic and contemplative dimension to Century City’s urban landscape, inviting moments of reflection, discovery and connection.
