Paul Roos Gymnasium, IS Art Gallery and Absa launched the Paul Roos Art Garden on Friday 21 October. The PRG Art Garden and Coffee Shop is a pop-up art exhibition that showcases sculptures by renowned local artists.
Art collectors with a love of sculpture and garden art are invited to visit this special exhibition at the Markötter Sports Complex in Stellenbosch.
The exhibition runs from Saturday 22 October until Sunday 30 October.
It also serves as Paul Roos’ contribution to Garden Town, an annual celebration of Spring and all things garden in Stellenbosch.
It boasts small to life-size works by artists such as Cornelia Stoop, Wilma Cruise, Noria Mabasa, Robin Kitinyo, Egon Tania, Strijdom van der Merwe, Arno Morland and many more.
The exhibition includes beautiful decorative wall panels made by high-school learners after participating in an upcycling workshop with Heath Nash and his team from Langa. These young ones learnt to make art from used milk bottles, an initiative supported by the Rupert Museum.
A portion of income raised from all art sales will be allocated to the Sponsor-a-Paul-Roos fund, aimed at supporting learners from less-privileged households.
Visiting hours: Monday (24 October) to Saturday (29 October), 10:00-16:00; Sunday (30 October), 09:00-14:00.
