Nando’s patronage of contemporary Southern African Art, through the close partnership with Spier Arts Trust, enables both opportunities for artists and curation of the Nando’s body of work.

The long term partnership between Nando’s and Spier Arts Trust enables artists to focus full-time on their artistic careers and offers the potential to earn regular income. Nando’s believes this can make a difference in artists’ lives, and in turn grow their own collection of high quality Southern African Contemporary art.

Spier Arts Trust administers programmes that facilitate career development opportunities for professional artists. Programmes include, among others, The Creative Block and HUB Studios in collaboration with fine artists, for site-specific commissions and architectural-scale artworks.
