We believe in Peter Pan
It’s the notion that everyone forgets how to fly as they grow up…
We believe that everyone is creative and that everyone is an artist. Therefore, through creative and artistic projects, we offer an experience that will inspire and effect the heart, thus reminding our clients and our audience that they already know how to fly.

Paper Girl
A proud collaboration between Lara Kruger , Marcii Goose, Justin Southey, Paul Senyol, Mareli Esterhuizen and many more other talented people.
Papergirl is an art project which, in the style of American Paperboys, distributes rolled art pieces by bicycle to random passers-by in the streets. It consists of an exhibition, the action (distribution of the art) and a party.
The idea of the project is to bring art to members of the society in an innovative and exciting way. Papergirl SA invites artists, creative mavericks, skillful doodlers and visionaries to submit their work. We want Papergirl to be a platform that allows you to give something to the community in the form of art. We believe art should be shared and given freely, and everyone should be allowed to view it and own it.

I love to craft / Thanda ukudala.
We have started a Craft project in partnership with Willard and Juma. They are two amazing artists from Zimbabwe.
We are working towards a project space that will run youth art workshops and inspire original craft products.
Our first commercial client for Word of Art over a year ago was Redbull. It’s very interesting that the first client for ‘I love to craft/Thanda ukudala’ was also Redbull.
Thanks Redbull :)
