Creatively Contrasted: New views on the Permanent Collection.

Creatively Contrasted: New views on the Permanent Collection is a curated exhibition from the Permanent Collection housed at Oliewenhuis Art Museum, specifically created in celebration of Heritage Day celebrated on 24 September. The Permanent Collection is an outstanding collection of South African art. 

It has a solid foundation of early South African artists and continually expands on its collection of works by contemporary South African artists. The OFM Art Beat spoke to Yolanda de Kock, Educational Coordinator at Oliewenhuis Art Museum - listen to the podcast below. 

By selecting artworks by contrasting interesting aspects such as the oldest and the most recently created artwork in the collection, the exhibition aims to give a fresh perspective on the collection. The exhibition highlights the incredible variety of heritage objects that it comprises and pays tribute to the incredible richness of South African visual art. The exhibition can be viewed until the 15th of November 2020.

The exhibition is made virtual for all to enjoy.
