Item Description
These two original beaded artwork animal figures by Monkeybiz bead artists in Cape Town, South Africa, are beautiful reminders of the wider world around us.
Monkeybiz South Africa is a nonprofit income-generating bead project started in January 2000.
Through creating sustainable employment, Monkeybiz focuses on women's economic empowerment and health development in the most economically under-resourced areas of South Africa.
The project, which has established a vibrant community of more than 450 bead artists, many of whom are the sole breadwinners within their households, has transformed the beaded arts market in South Africa. Departing from the culture of mass-produced curio craft, each Monkeybiz artwork is unique and is signed by the artist, ensuring that individual artists receive recognition for their work.
Item Special Note
Each figure includes a tag with the artist's signature.
Winning bidder must pay for postage and shipping of the items or pick them up at the St. Petersburg Times downtown St. Petersburg Bureau, 490 1st Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
