Ariva Arts Shop, Point Discovery, Heritage Site, Mossel Bay
Ariva Arts Shop is more than a retail space — it is a living platform for cultural preservation, creative entrepreneurship, and sustainable livelihoods. Rooted in the African Indigenous Renaissance (AIR) vision, the shop supports local artists and crafters from rural and underserved communities by providing meaningful access to training, skills development, performance opportunities, and reliable markets for their work.
Through structured training programmes, artists are supported to develop their craft, learn business and marketing skills, and build confidence as cultural entrepreneurs. These programmes are complemented by live performances, exhibitions, and community showcases that create visibility and income while celebrating indigenous knowledge, storytelling, and artistic expression.
Ariva Arts Shop serves as a permanent outlet where artists can sell their work on a fair and transparent basis, creating sustainable income streams beyond once-off events or festivals. By linking training to real market access, the shop helps transform creative talent into long-term economic opportunity, contributing to job creation, youth and women empowerment, and local economic development.
Every purchase made at Ariva Arts Shop directly supports an artist, strengthens community-based creative industries, and helps ensure that Africa’s rich cultural heritage continues to thrive — not only as tradition, but as a viable and dignified livelihood.
