Christmas Exhibition

Christmas Exhibition

Date: 2014-10-31
Buy Local - Buy Handmade

The African Art Centre's annual Christmas exhibition will be opened by Yanni Vosloo Merchandise Director at Mr. Price Group, Home on Wednesday, 29 October 2014 at 17:30.

The African Art Centre, one of the longest surviving non-for profit organisations of its kind in the country will launch its much anticipated Christmas Exhibition 2014 on 29 October 2014. Established more than fifty years ago as a centre which promotes and develops the work of artists and crafters from KwaZulu Natal, we continue to be actively involved in implementing sustainable development programmes which impart new skills and extend on already existing skills within the craft communities of urban and rural KwaZulu Natal. The annual Christmas Exhibition will highlight the vibrant creative culture of KwaZulu Natal and will raise awareness about the economic benefits of supporting our local craft producers by buying locally.

The exhibition will feature a wide range of affordable, original, handmade Christmas ornaments and gifts produced by crafters from KwaZulu Natal. The variety of products include beaded, embroidered and felt Christmas tree ornaments, colourfully beaded tableware, recycled cards and ornaments and Christmas gifts including jewellery, ceramics, candles and telephone wire products.

The products on the African Christmas exhibition culminated as a result of skills training workshops facilitated by the Development Team at the African Art Centre and focussed on promoting, supporting and stimulating craft producers, enhancing existing products and on developing new, innovative products.

We offer corporate gifts and wholesale prices for large orders, and if required we can produce items according to a clients colour specifications. Every purchase made from the African Art Centre provides income and employment for more than 600 crafters currently supported by the Centre.

The opening will include a performance by the Durban Girls College Choir. For additional information contact the Director, Sharon Crampton at the African Art Centre at 031-312 3805.
