FRIENDS OF THE LESS GOOD IDEA

The Centre for the Less Good Idea is grateful to its supporters, the Friends of the Less Good Idea.

The Friends of the Less Good Idea provide financial support on an annual, ongoing basis, enabling us to continue incubating and devising artistic work, without determining what that work is.

This belief in The Centre’s work, and investment in our programming, ensures that we can continue providing a vital and formative space for collaborative and cross-disciplinary arts projects in South Africa.

Since its inception in 2016, The Centre has become a haven for creative experimentation. It has also evolved into a community of artists whose continued engagement with The Centre, and with fellow artists, organisations and institutions, continues to deepen and enrich the arts in South Africa and beyond.

The Centre for the Less Good Idea wishes to thank the following individuals:

Brenda R. Potter
Joe & Erin Battat
John Shannon & Jan Serr
Valerie Dillon & Daniel Lewis
Wendy Vanden Heuval

Jill Kearney

As a Friend of The Centre, your contribution is of immense value to our work at The Centre, the artistic community in Johannesburg, and South Africa as a whole.
