Spier Arts Trust values the cultural contribution of art to South Africa's creative economy. Our purpose is to facilitate successful art careers by enabling freedom of creative expression with the potential for social transformation. Our business model is one of shared value; our patron partners are committed in a long term strategy to realise economic business goals while doing good in society. We build significant art collections for our patron partners through the administration of an ecosystem of career development opportunities for fine artists. These include, among others: Spier Arts Academy, Creative Block and Qaqambile Bead Studio
