amazing starts is an exhibition at the DUT Art Gallery by students of the Durban University of Technology. The exhibition showcases works from two departments, Fine Arts and Jewellery design departments. Artworks to be exhibited comprise sculpture, jewellery and ceramic works.

The exhibition presents a glimpse about the calibre of students currently at the University and also what the industry can expect from the university going forward. For collectors and art patrons alike, amazing starts offers a platform to invest in what is to be the next generation of artists as most of the students if not all have demonstrated commitment and the ability to withstand pressure.

“All students produced amazing works and that is a quality needed from any artist to ensure a sustainable career in the arts,” says Curator Nathi Gumede. “The DUT Art Gallery is proud to host this exhibition and also to witness what is to be a start to a number of colourful careers.

For more information please do not hesitate to contact the gallery.
