Nando’s, the iconic South African brand famous for its flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken, has become just as hot in the art world as it is in the restaurant scene! Known globally, Nando’s isn’t just about food—it’s a driving force for contemporary African art, with over 25,000 Southern African pieces in its collection. Through a dynamic partnership with Spier Arts Trust, Nando’s shines an international spotlight on South African talent, seamlessly blending culture with cuisine across more than 1,000 restaurants in 24 countries.

Nando’s doesn’t stop at walls and tables—it’s also fueling urban renewal projects like Jozi My Jozi, injecting art and culture into Johannesburg’s cityscape and building community pride. And for budding designers? The Nando’s Hot Young Designer competition on social media is a launchpad for fresh talent, giving emerging creatives the chance to showcase their work and get noticed.

Then there’s the Vusa Awards, where artists can win major prizes and get their names out there. Events like Contra.Joburg open doors to explore Johannesburg’s thriving visual arts scene, while the “Portal to Africa” online marketplace lets Nando’s interior designers source South African-made furniture for its global restaurants. It’s art, it’s community, and it’s corporate creativity done right.
