We are sure you have noticed the sudden influx of interest in South African arts. There is an arts or music festival scheduled almost every weekend and international brands collaborating with local artists to reintroduce relevance of creativity to new generations. Many brands are assisting in raising awareness around the need for art to be developed in South Africa.
Total South Africa is no different and recognises the need to further develop young artists by further expanding and growing the art industry. It is for this reason Total South Africa is celebrating its 20 years of partnership with the Sibikwa Arts Centre. Total recognises the need to contribute positively to the community and environment in which it operates and wishes to demonstrate how these communities, through its support, has thrived in the arts.
The centre has a hand at providing its services to some of South Africa’s best entertainers including the talented singer/ songwriter, Lira as well as actress Connie Chiume proving that the Sibikwa Arts Centre values in further developing young artistic talent and in turn growing the Art industry.
