KZN MIDLANDS MATRIC ART EXHIBITION


The annual KwaZulu-Natal Midlands Matric Art Exhibition shows art works mainly made by the previous year’s Matric art students from local schools. Young and old enjoy this display and learn about new methods and ideas from our innovative and enthusiastic youth.

On display will be drawings, paintings, installations, prints, digital images, three-dimensional works and creations that sometimes defy traditional description. This healthy youthful search for innovation makes a visit to the exhibition an exciting experience. Enquiries or bookings to pinky.nkabinde@msunduzi.gov.za or 033 392 2811

The Spotlight on Matric Art Teachers exhibition runs concurrently and is the result of an enthusiastic response from local hard-working Matric Art Teachers. Art students have to be challenged, encouraged and nurtured. In many cases, the art teacher becomes aware of the student’s personal struggles in life. For these teachers to find free time in order to create their work is a tough challenge, and the Tatham salutes their creativity and perseverance. Enquiries or bookings through reena.bhoodram@msunduzi.gov.za or 033 392 2823
