Launching exhibition for the International Watercolor Society South Africa

Cheryl Curnick, Benoni resident and chairwoman of the society said about 45 paintings will be showcased at the exhibition.

Twelve of these are prints of the works of professional international watercolour artists, from various countries.

Others are selected works by local members, which will all be on sale.

Four works by well-known watercolourist from Johannesburg, Edward Selemetsela, will also be showcased at the event.

Thirty per cent of the funds raised at the launch will be donated to selected charities, including the South African Guide Dogs Association for the Blind, the Benoni SPCA and Little Black Artists.

The artists of the best three paintings will receive prizes.

The launch will commence at 5pm on the first evening and include wine and cheese.

The rest of the exhibition can be enjoyed during shopping hours.

Paintings that are not sold will be kept at Curnick’s gallery, Gallery Petite, at 162 Pretoria Road and can be viewed by appointment.
