Putting art in the bag
The former Speedy Bag Factory at 10 Minnaar Street, Fordsburg — a stone’s throw away from the Oriental Plaza — is an art pit stop where some of South Africa’s brightest art stars and guest residents from around the world are available for serious studio visits or a bit of a laugh over lunch, writes Kathryn Smith.
A lifetime of achievement for the children
Children’s theatre producer Joyce Levinsohn is the fourth individual to win the coveted Arts & Culture Trust Lifetime Achievement Award, writes Matthew Krouse.
Rewarding growth
The Arts & Culture Trust Cultural Development Project of the Year Award seeks to reward individuals and groups that devote a significant portion of their time, often without remuneration, to nurturing the country’s future stars in historically disadvantaged communities, writes Suzan Chala.
Arts media cover all bases
Although e.tv news has not been broadcasting for long, it has proved that age is not important by winning this year’s Arts & Culture Media of the Year Award in support of the arts, writes Ngwako Modjadji.
