Thanks to our voters!
Art Aids Art's "Home in the 'Hood" entry reached the Finalist Round of the Intuit
Small Business Competition. Combining four microenterprises, Home in the
'Hood will generate tourism income in an underserved township community.
We thank our supporters who helped us place 6th overall in voting. With
your help, we won $5,000 to create employment for South African women!

Yoga, anyone?
Art Aids Art is exploring a unique opportunity for eKhaya eKasi Center's startup
programming. We have made contact with a yoga teacher from within the
Khayelitsha community, and hope to offer weekly yoga classes to promote
wellbeing.
Art Aids Art is building relationships with U.S. yoga studios and practitioners
interested in sponsoring the yoga program. Details > |

Attention Laker Fans
Welcome to our first special feature showcasing unique beadwork newly arrived
from South Africa. We've never seen an animal decked out in the colors of the
Los Angeles Lakers, and since they're making a run to become World Champs,
it seemed like a perfect time to feature a Laker giraffe. This is one-of-a-kind, so
contact us right away if you'd like to grab a truly unique souvenir for your
favorite Laker fan. Details >
