Summer Arts Fair

SWEET Centre was founded by Selome Wellington (Poet Flo-W), an artist from the Nelson Mandela Bay in February 2008. The organisation's main focus is artist development and growth. This objective is obtained by hosting regular events which unites various genres of the arts, creating exposure and enlarging communities through networking and showcasing of many talents.

Poet Flo-W began her journey in the arts sector while still at primary school, developing a love for writing and poetry from the age of 12. During her high school and tertiary education she nurtured her talents through community and school projects, as well as drama and poetry societies. By the age of 19, Selome had already published 8 original poems in numerous journals and anthologies, specifically through The Poetry Institute of Africa and the Christian Poetry Association. 
Since then, the poet has performed at many events including the Grahamstown Festival, Meet Me By the Poetree, and many corporate and fundraising events around the bay. As the SWEET Centre focuses on artist development and growth within the community, the organisation assists with a range of programmes which aid in giving artists a step up in their respective sectors; both nationally and internationally.
