The 3 week lockdown initiative that lasted 3 years officially comes to an end. @thelockdowncol - a project that truly gave me a purpose in the dark days of level 5 lockdown.

Love that a little project born in SA in March 2022, made such an impact even globally! A great feature on one of the co-founders of @thelockdowncol and one of the kindest, smartest people I know, @CarlBates ❤️🇿🇦🇳🇿

The 3 week idea that lasted 3 years… This passion project has been defining in so many ways. It showed how fast you can build something if there is partnership, passion and purpose. Our efforts helped raise millions for artists in South Africa through the pandemic and beyond.
Today we look back at the first collection that launched this initiative on the 27th of March 2020. A series of 21 artworks to commemorate and record what was believed at the time to be a solitary 21 day Lockdown.

In celebration of our first collection we created a limited edition #TLCPortfolio inclusive of all 25 artwork prints. This commemorative portfolio created a special, one of a kind collector's piece, capturing South Africa’s historic Covid-19 lockdown period through art.

We have so much gratitude for every single artist that contributed work to this collection and the corporates/individuals that underwrote the pieces. And those who finally acquired them. If you’d like to donate to the Vulnerable Artist Fund, follow the link in our bio.

The time has come to conclude this intended 3-week initiative that raised funds for artists during South Africa’s historic Covid-19 lockdown after over thirty months of ongoing fundraising.

Working from our @gridworldwide Illovo offices is such a visual treat and reminder of how worlds so often collide in this life: The Kentridge prints formed part of @thelockdowncol - an art initiative that I was working on a year before I started at Grid.

"The TLC concept was to curate 21 art pieces, during the #21daylockdown, each created by a different SA artist." For their groundbreaking art-inspired initiative, @thelockdowncol has received two @basa_news Awards, check it out 🔗 https://t.co/ff8TdYFx5S
