The National Arts Council of Namibia (NACN), under the Ministry of Education, Arts and
Culture, unveiled its new brand in Windhoek on Thursday.
This was confirmed in a press statement which highlighted that the rebranding, which includes a new logo and website, will strengthen Namibia’s creative sector and ensure greater accessibility and support for artists.
Speaking at the event, deputy minister of education, arts and culture Faustina Caley said the rebranding is not just a visual transformation, but a renewed commitment to making art more accessible.
“Today, we are not just launching a new brand, we are reaffirming our commitment to making art accessible to all, as our new slogan embodies.
“The NACN serves as both a gateway and a bridge – paving the way for artistic expression, cultural enrichment, and economic growth within the creative industries,” Caley said.
She extended her appreciation to the NACN team, creative partners, and all stakeholders involved in the rebranding process.
“This is not just about a new logo or a fresh design – it is about a movement towards greater inclusivity, visibility, and empowerment.
“We are stepping into the future with confidence,
ensuring that every artist has the support they need to make
their mark in the world,” she said.
Designed by Turipamwe Design, the new brand symbolises the NACN’s role in ensuring access to artistic opportunities and fostering cultural exchange.
The new logo features a gate, representing access, and a semicircle, symbolising a bridge – both signifying connection,
inclusivity, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
Complementing this is a website developed by Interactive IT Solutions.
“This platform will strengthen engagement between artists, stakeholders, and the public.”
