St Teresa’s School, located on the Keyes Art Mile in Johannesburg, launches their inaugural St Teresa’s Art Festival (START Festival) – an event that aims to make art appreciation, learning and buying more accessible and welcoming to all.
The START Festival happens on Saturday, 8 September 2018, and is a platform for art collectors looking for affordable art, prints, illustrations and ceramics.
It’s also an opportunity for students with an interest in art to learn about careers in art, be it as a curator, an auctioneer, a buyer or an artist. All this facilitates a great space for families wanting to foster an appreciation for art in their children and enjoy a great day out filled with food, fun and creativity.
Keyes Art Mile Johannesburg, Art Week Joburg
Printmaking, origami, graffiti, paintball art
START will take visitors on a journey through a variety of art mediums: from painting to virtual reality, and from production to curating. There’ll be workshops and activities in printmaking, screen-printing, etching, origami, watercolour, graffiti, paintball art, clay and virtual reality.
Visitors will hear from guest speakers from the local art industry including Marco Cianfanelli, the renowned sculptor famous for the portrait sculpture ‘Release’, at the Nelson Mandela Capture Site in Kwa Zulu Natal, Wilhelm van Rensburg, a Senior Art Specialist at Strauss & Co Fine Art, South Africa’s leading art auction house and Laura Windvogel (a.k.a. Lady Skollie) a visual artist whose artistic expression revolves around the theme of gender roles and feminism.
St Teresa’s partnership with the Keyes Art Mile and the proximity to established galleries in Rosebank make it the ideal location to host an event of this nature. Here, visitors can share their appreciation for art during the cultural highlight of the year – Art Week Joburg.
