This is a national call to South African artists
to respond to the theme Wish You Were
Here.
Wish
You Were Here is a high-profile, high-visibility
series of exhibitions of artworks featuring Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB). It is a
coordinated effort between private sector members of the NMB artistic community
and a few prominent public sector entities, with the goal of promoting both the
NMB and its visual artists.
MBDA Wish
You Were Here is open to contemporary visual artists nationwide, as well as
graphic professionals, photographers and architects, who feel that they have a
singular vision of the Nelson Mandela Bay.
Aside from numerous prizes for the winners
(presently R22,950), submitted works will also have a chance to form part of
the Selectors’ Choice – an exclusive travelling exhibition that takes in the
2015 Absa Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees and National Arts Festival in
Grahamstown.
The exhibition launch is September 19, to
coincide with Heritage Day (September 24) and Heritage Month (September) at the
Athenaeum, Port Elizabeth. The exhibition will remain open for three weeks,
until October 17, after which selected portions of the show will travel to
specific high-density NMB centres.
