The currently ongoing SAG Acquisition Exhibition kicked off on July 27 and showcases items that were acquired by the City by means of donations, commissions, achievements and as gifts over the years.
Art lovers will be taken by the lively and attractive exhibition of paintings, drawings and sculptures of varying mediums.
“As the City of Ekurhuleni we invite all citizens who are passionate about art and those who want to learn more about it to interact and consult with us at our exhibitions in order to establish solid partnerships in growing the love of art in our communities,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
The aim of the SAG Acquisition Exhibition is to enrich and expand the views of the community through art, and as such audiences from schools, universities, adult groups, community centres and individual artist’s will get to view the gallery’s permanent collection through a guided tour.
