Spier Arts Trust
Arts Trust
The Spier Arts Trust, was established to generate shared value for the makers and buyers of South African art. Through curating art portfolios and managing visual arts projects, the trust facilitates collaboration as well as growth opportunities for visual artists and artisans in South Africa.
The Creative Block Project
Creative Block Project
Creative Block, a Spier Growing for Good learning initiative, invites artists, both established and emerging, to create work on a 18cm x 18cm blank block. The blocks are submitted for critique, and the best are purchased for resale to corporate patrons and the general public. Collectors then choose a number of blocks and hang them together, building an impactful, collective artwork that has the potential to be greater than the sum of its parts. Spier named its blended wine range after the project – the award-winning Creative Block 2, 3 and 5 wines.
