Brief History:

In the past 3 years, Silke Financial Services has been closely involved in increasing access to art for aspiring South African artists who come mainly from townships in the Cape Town area.

With the full support of us at Silke Financial Services, we have been able to help talented artists gain recognition in their craft who otherwise may not have had the opportunity to showcase their artistic talent. The nature of our sponsorship endeavour is used as a means to promote the Ikwezi Art Centre while at the same time making the business model of Silke Financial Services totally unique.

Silke Financial Services is committed to continue with its sponsorship of the Ikwezi Art Centre in Cape Town into the future.

Please support the centre which is situated at the Montebello Design Centre at 31 Newlands Avenue in Newlands, Cape Town.
