Local artists have been navigating the storm to produce a stunning mural as part of the BMW East London Arts competition, which will culminate in a celebration of heritage at the dealership on Saturday.
Local artists have the chance to transform a 12m-long white wall into a splash of artistic expression outside BMW in a competition launched in partnership with the Limani Art Gallery and the Eastern Cape Provincial Arts & Culture Council (ECPACC).
An Eastern Cape artist who hung up his paint brushes after struggling to find work, has been given a lifeline by the Mbhashe Local Municipality, which commissioned him to paint a giant mural in Idutywa. Lwando Hlazo, a fine arts bachelor of technology graduate from Walter Sisulu University, at one stage had to sell some of his works for just R50 to put food on the table.
