David Krut Projects (DKP) is an independent arts resource, which is active in Johannesburg, Cape Town and New York. Its focus is the encouragement of careers in the arts and literature and provides a platform for collaborations in the visual and other creative arts. Our outreach activities support child literacy and arts education.

In 2002, a Workshop (DKW) was established in Johannesburg as an experimental etching studio. The workshop has since relocated to Arts on Main (a pioneering inner city renewal project in Johannesburg), where master printer, Jillian Ross, collaborates with artists to make work that they are unable to create in their own studios.

South African artists with whom we are currently collaborating on projects include: William Kentridge, Mongezi Ncaphayi, Diane Victor, Robyn Penn and Stephen Hobbs.
Works by all of those above are available to purchase from our various locations, together with works by Deborah Bell, Senzo Shabangu, Lorenzo Nassimbeni, Sam Nhlengethwa, Maja Maljević, Mary Wafer, Quinten Williams and Faith 47 – to name a handful.

Works are also available by creatives from abroad, such as Endale Desalegn and Aida Muluneh who are from Ethiopia.

Adjacent David Krut Bookstores in Johannesburg, Cape Town and New York, have evolved from small visual art support venues to very busy interactive spaces connected to our art galleries and etching workshops. Having started as the distribution point for our own publications, the TAXI Art Book Series and further titles on South African artists, the bookstores have expanded and offer a very wide range of titles on all aspects of creativity, important non-fiction and definitive knowledge titles.
