OPENING on February 7 at 3.30 pm in the Tatham Art Gallery’s Schreiner Gallery, with a second opening at the same time the following day in the Georgetown Library, is a new exhibition, Edendale Excels.
The artists featured are Gerard Bhengu, Michael Zondi, Fanozi “Chickenman” Mkhize and Siyabonga Sikosana. They were chosen because of their links with Edendale either as residents, or because they studied or worked in the area. The aim is to show the achievements of the Edendale community in South African history, and the exhibition will also be a supplement for visual arts students in Grade 11 and 12, where Zondi and Bhengu are among the artists featured on the syllabus.
