Currently in its 48th year, Santam’s Child Art programme continues to add colour to the lives of thousands of children by providing a platform for young artists.
The Santam Child Art Programme is the longest running CSI programmes in Santam.
Santam partners with schools and art centres throughout South Africa to invite entries for the Child Art competition. It attracts more than 3 800 entries annually, of which 220 are selected for an online exhibition. An independent panel judges the entries and selects 13 artworks to appear in their Child Art calendar for the following year. The calendar is made available to the public at R25 each and the proceeds are used to fund educator development (arts & culture) and art classes for children from previously disadvantaged communities.
This year, Santam has partnered with FLOW (For Love Of Water) with the theme of the competition being “save our planet, save our water”.
