Kunye Art Foundation

Kunye Art Foundation (NPC2020/575246/08 ; PBO 930087996) is transforming lives by uplifting and empowering artists from South Africa’s diverse cultural landscape. Our vibrant community includes artists with disabilities, survivors of gender-based violence, disadvantaged individuals, single mothers, and professional artists who mentor emerging talent, fostering a nurturing environment for creative and personal growth.

At Kunye Art Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting our artists by providing essential art supplies and creating opportunities for them to exhibit and sell their work to local and international buyers. Our mission is to foster creativity, build skills, and promote financial independence through art. Through our active WhatsApp community, artists find emotional support, encouragement, and collaboration, contributing to healing, inclusion, and resilience within our community.

“We believe in the power of art to transform lives,” said Ingrid Wallach, Managing Director and Founder of Kunye Art Foundation. “By providing a platform for diverse voices and mentoring young talent, we are not only nurturing artistic potential but also creating pathways to economic empowerment and personal healing.”
