Opening at artSPACEdurban today (Monday, August 3) will be
the IEB Matric Art Exhibition/Competition 2015.
“Over the last couple of years we have been approached at
times and discussed artworks produced by scholars at private schools in KZN and
how they do not receive the recognition they deserve,” says Karen Bradtke of
artSPACEdurban. “In response to this we had our first IEB Matric Art Exhibition
and Competition in September 2014. Again this year, we have set aside one week to
show the best works produced by scholars at the schools we have found that do
the IEB Matric Art.”
The way this exhibition works is that each school is asked
to select a maximum of three to five works (depending on space available) of
this year's Matric Art student body to compete for three prizes, as determined
by a panel of independent judges selected from Durban galleries and Durban
University of Technology Fine Art department.
The prizes available are: 1st prize R1,000, 2nd prize R750,
3rd prize R500 and three merit prizes of R250 each.
“Obviously, we believe that this IEB Matric Art exhibition
and competition will be an extra incentive to the students to produce excellent
works,” adds Bradtke.
The 12 participating schools are Clifton College; Durban
Girls' College; Epworth; Hilton College; Marist Stella; Michaelhouse; Our Lady
of Fatima; St. Anne's Diocesan College; St. Henry’s Marist College; St. Marys'
DSG; Thomas More College, and Treverton College.
IEB Matric Art Exhibition/Competition 2015 opens at artSPACEdurban
today (Monday, August 3) at 18h30 and runs until August 8 when the prize giving
will be held on that day at 11h00.
