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

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
