Artfricart

Artfricart Artfricart is an art project for struggling refugee and local South African artists who are striving for a 'hand-up' not 'hand-out'

This page is aimed at promoting the Artfricart project designed for local refugee and South African artists who are currently unemployed, often homeless and penniless. The founder and sole financial contributor of this community art project is ex-refugee and current social counselor at Cape Town Refugee Centre, Fwamba Mukole. He has been a community man for over 20 years since originally setting u

p an English Literacy bush school in the DRC back in 1993. Artfricart aims to serve as a platform for artists who otherwise struggle to be self-reliant, in the following ways:
- Enable them to share creative skills
- Promote social and economic integration
- Guide these artists to learn and understand African art and other forms of artistic expression
- Market and showcase these African works locally and internationally
- Organise both training and access to bursaries and scholarships otherwise unavailable to them
- Impart upon them basic business and soft skills
