Monkeybiz Bead Art Animal

Monkeybiz is a South African non-profit organization of over 450 women, who create unique beadworks for sale, rekindling the ancient art of South African beadwork. The women, mostly from the very poor Townships of Cape Town suffuse the artworks with the vivid colors, textures, stories, humour and expressions of Southern Africa. It is the very personal inspiration and interpretation of each artist that brings such energy, life and spirit to each one-of-a-kind creation.

Monkeybiz Bead Art has developed a passionate following collectors of Monkeybiz pieces include Donna Karan, Annie Lennox, Halle Berry, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Monkeybiz artworks are pricey by comparison with mass-produced pieces. But the premium covers much more than the superior quality and individual expression of each unique artwork. Buyers know that they are also providing fair compensation to the artist, and that any additional profit is not for middlemen, but for desperately needed community services.
