“The Art Legacy Fund speaks directly to why organisations like the Black Coffee Foundation exist – to create systems of support that can meet people where they are and help them through moments when they need it most,” said Lungie Maphumulo, CEO of the Black Coffee Foundation. “We know that the journey of a creative is not always an easy one, and there are moments when artists need support to get back on their feet, continue creating and fulfil their potential. The Foundation is committed to working alongside the Art Legacy Fund to develop initiatives that can support creatives at different stages of their journey, from production to stage and beyond. Last night showed us what is possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose, and donations raised are an incredible starting point for what we believe can become a lasting support system for artists.”
