Curated by Richard Kilpert and Devon Anderson in collaboration with the participating artists, it showcases a collective effort in bringing forward diverse perspectives and artistic expressions.'Art is a wonderful medium to express talent, but also to comment on social issues. The programme also allows for networking between artists and creates opportunities to develop skills and explore different genres. We are proud to see so much enthusiasm and the level of expressive freedom. We would like to thank those artists who participated in the programme and wish them luck with their careers,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia van der Ross. <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/Emerging%20Artists%2024424.jpeg" class="responsive" alt="" style="width:1778px;" /> </figure>The exhibition is being hosted at The Lab, 14 Clyde Street, Woodstock.
