Back to event index

Date: 6 December 2007
Time: 17:30

Who’s who and what’s new on the local art scene?

Artists in Nelson Mandela Bay have responded to this question by submitting an interesting array of original works of art on no particular theme which will be on show at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum over the holiday season. The Who’s who and what’s new unselected group exhibition is run annually by the Art Museum to identify and publicise practicing visual artists and visual art groups in Nelson Mandela Bay. The exhibition aims to encourage the creation of outstanding works of art and to promote public support for local art and artists.

An exhibition opening function with artistic flair will take place on Thursday 6 December 2007 at 17:30 where well known poet and motivational speaker, Lelethu Mahambehlala, kicks off the event with a special brand of exhibition opening address. Live entertainment for the evening will be provided by the popular music duo Wise-Fools. All artists, art lovers, art supporters and other interested members of the public are invited to attend this informal celebration of the arts in Nelson Mandela Bay.

The exhibition closes on 20 January 2008.
