Share
The Butterfly Art Project is an organization based in Cape Town, South Africa. Art and the creative process yields endless healing possibilities.
Butterfly Art Project is a non profit organisation that empowers participants to become community of active facilitators, who use their skills in vulnerable communities, to bring about healing, healthy social lives and inspire others through art. The different programs reach out to hundreds of children and their carers living in the townships of the Cape. We are a group of local and international
Our cohort of newly trained Community Art Facilitators completed their module with a networking and alumni excursion Zeitz MOCAA , where they got to meet the wider CAF movement.
From a creative workshop to meaningful networking and an insightful guided tour – the experience was rich with connection, learning, and inspiration.
Some CAFs also received their implementation packs delivered to their premises! For more info on our training, contact [email protected] or WhatsApp 0608056482
During our 4-day art therapeutic and trauma-informed training, called Counteracting Trauma, participants explored the different types of trauma and how to respond with care and creativity.
Together, we shared tools to support children in safe, trauma-informed ways.
Thank you to all who joined us! 💛🎨

Thank you to everyone who attended our events in the week leading up to Madiba Day 2025! We are so grateful to those who donated and volunteered with us! 🦋
During our latest Early Beginning Training session, we worked with the watercolour story method. A method that incorporates storytelling with colour, which enables children to build empathy and inner resources to deal with trauma. We explored how this soft and flowing medium can help us slow down, reflect, and express emotions.
Come join us for creating mixed media cards at the art studio in Montebello!!!
To celebrate Madiba day 2025, our studio in Montebello is open for visitors. You can create a mixed media post card or donate for our Artcenter in Vrygrond. We're open on Friday the 18th July from 9:00 to 12:30 and on Saturday the 19th from 12:30 to 17:00 at Studio 12 Montebello Design Centre (find us next to the picnic cafe and play area).
