Art brings everyone together

-

It’s that time of the year again, where we bring a showcase of art and festivitie­s to Pietermari­tzburg.

Art in the Park is one of the handful of selling exhibition­s, where all artists from different corners of the country come and visit for this beautiful exhibition. Taking place in the SANBI KZN Pietermari­tzburg Botanical Garden, and sponsored by Creative Arts College, the festival offers a safe and secure environmen­t, not forgetting a romantic atmosphere.

Art has been identified as the tool to overcome barriers that separate people. It has power and ability to inspire and relate across all races.

Art in the Park certainly has helped artists since 1962 establish themselves and create a market for their special skills. It’s a trade expo platform. In the early days, as the artist joined the event, they created a synergy among artists and supported each other, and the sales they received gave them the belief and means for them to continue to paint and survive as artists. Apart from the networking with other artists that one experience­s, it is also a big help when it comes to dealing with other shows and galleries.

Art brings beauty into our world and makes it a better place, so come and join us in celebratin­g 58 years of art that brings people together and enables us to speak one language.

Do not miss this prestigiou­s event. It will definitely be a family weekend filled with exciting art and entertainm­ent for all.
