SANAVA Exhibition

Art in full bloom over the Country
Sometimes, one has the impression that art is only practiced in cities and large centres. Or course, this is certainly not true. All over the country there are hundreds of working artists with exceptional talents. Often, however, they lack opportunities to have their work exhibited and appreciated by a broader public. Fortunately, over the past decade or two, many of the old local art societies were revived and other new ones established. SANAVA, the umbrella body of these local societies happily decided to organize a special exhibition of selected works by members of its branches and affiliated organisations to mirror the bustling and vibrancy of the various local art scenes.
This special and very exciting exhibition is hosted by the Association of Arts Pretoria. It is opened by Anton Loubser, National President of SANAVA, on Sunday 18 January 2008 at 17:30 for 18:00 in the Mackie Street art gallery of the Association and runs until 4 February 2009.

workshops

Pease let me know who will be interested in the sculpture workshop on the 20th of June
and also
please comment on the following letters:

Ek wil net noem dat ek vir kunstenaars wat belangstel 'n kursus in gietwerk kan reel. Daar was die mooiste en interessantste beelde met 'n plastiese medium vervaardig op uitstalling by UNISA in Pretoria. Die dosent is gewillig om te kom as ons 'n groep van minimum tien bymekaar kan bring. Hoe meer hoe goedkoper....Groete.

Ek lees in die nuusbrief dat julle daaraan dink om 'n tekenklas/kursus te reel en dat jy gaan probeer om vir Carl Jeppe te kry. Ek was by hom en het ook die voorreg gehad om by Diane Victor te teken,Ek moet jou eerlik se die vrou se klas was wonderlik Indien dit 'n probleem is is ek bereid om so 'n klas aan te bied Dit is nou as daar 'n plek om dit te doen en belangstelling is. Sal goedkoper wees as om iemand te laat kom. Dink daaroor.Groete Erica

"good art"

During an interview on one of our radio stations, I was asked: "what is good art"
indeed....what is good art?
