Standard Bank Young Artist 2010 exhibition comes to Nelson Mandela Bay

The Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Art 2010 has been awarded to Michael McGarry.  His exhibition, ENDGAME, comes to the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum directly from the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.

The exhibition aludes to how colonialism, globalisation and exploitation of natural resources have impacted on South Africa and the rest of Africa.

Stephen Hobbs, Visual Artist and Cultural Producer, will be visiting the city on Wednesday 28 July 2010 to open the exhibition at 17:30 for 18:00.  All members of the public are invited to attend.  For more information or to confirm your attendance please telephone the Art Museum on 041 5062000.

Those who did not manage to view the exhibition in Grahamstown should not miss out on this opportunity to participate in a multi-media art experience.  

The exhibition will be on show until 5 September 2010.
