Exhibition, with members attending from far and wide to celebrate their
artworks exhibited proudly on the gallery walls. With the threat of
loadshedding unavoidable, the exhibition was opened early by KZNSA President
Sheryl Msomi and the winners were announced to a great response.
First Prize: Lee Scott – Hand
Held

The floating trophy and generous prize money to the value of
R20,000 is donated to the KZNSA Members’ Exhibition by the Emanuel family, in
memory of Durban painter and long-standing member of the KZNSA, Joan Emanuel.
This donation has directly resulted in raising the standard of the show.

Gallery) and Val Coppin-Shaw (Gallerist and KZNSA Gallery Committee Member).
