Since opening in 2003, the CTICC has barely paused for breath, packing in a busy annual programme of musical performances, exhibitions, conferences and other events, such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival and Design Indaba.
In the main entrance hall, Baobabs, Stormclouds, Animals and People is a giant relief sculpture, a collaboration between Brett Murray and the late San artist Tuoi Steffaans Samcuia of the !Xun and Khwe San Art and Cultural Project.
The eastern extension to the complex, known as CTICC2, has almost doubled its size. A sky bridge across Heerengracht connecting the two sides of the complex is planned for 2018.
