‘Out of the Fire, into the Light’
An exhibition of contemporary South African Glass curated by Dr Ingram Anderson and Lothar Böttcher
‘Out of the Fire, into the Light’, the Pretoria Arts Association’s exhibition of contemporary South African glass art is an invitation to enter into the wondrous world of glass. Artists from across the country were invited to exhibit their recent works.
Glass, over many centuries, is one of the most cherished forms of artistry and the coming exhibition promises to be a kaleidoscopic adventure to discover a feast of design, colour and light.
The exhibition is opened by Dr Ingram Anderson, well-known art connoisseur and sponsor of the arts, on Friday 23 September 2016 at 18h30 for 19h00 in the Association’s Mackie Street art gallery.
