This Award recognises an individual who has demonstrated long-term commitment to, and financial support for, organisations and initiatives in the Arts, a seriously underfunded sector.
“If I were talking to privileged South Africans I’m afraid my message would be a little harsh. I would have to break the news to them that you actually don’t need more than the first R20million. After that, really, nothing is so important that you have to cling on to it.” For her support for the Arts and for Red Cross Children’s Hospital, Vivien Cohen received the 2007 Inyathelo Philanthropy in the Arts Award.
